..home from Haute Route.....I hate skins, crampons or whatever needed to climb uphill...for now..
I will do the trip next year aswell, but with the right equipment. Eg. lightweight.

Anyone, any ideas for randoneé skis? Lightweigth material and dimensions.

So "kinky" is flat or vice versa or...I'm just trying to catch up with the lingo.
On th other hand I just think the skis looks amazing. I wouldn't even come up with that idea. I'm just and old racer brought up on ice. So I'm chasing the optimal carve. Have no or little exp. on powder.

Oops! Where did all the snow go?

I read in the HowTo guide that they had experinced a loss of approx 10mm of camber compare to the mold during the laminate process. I took that in calculation when I made my mold, it's 20mm. I'm using maple and pine(fir). They went "back" 10mm. So I got a 10 mm camber... :) Just what I wan...

I'm old enough to remember Franz Klammer, austrian downhiller, using thoose skis! In the seventies!! Jeeeezzz....I'm getting old...


Going down Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel, I don't think reduce air resistance was/is the main issue!....

I think you have to develop that theory a little bit...you shouldn't go for 10mm directly. it sounds scary when you are close to 2mm. Keep your fingers away! I can see what you mean, and I've seen this being done on shorter and more robust pieces. Like table legs.. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/pho...

Hi, This is my contribution to the cold shop/heating problem. I disassembled an old drying cabinet for clothes. And build a larger cabinet keeping the heater. The heater has a built in fan which is great. The air inside the cabinet is alomst 100% equal temperature. I set the temp.switch to 40 deg. c...

Sounds interesting...looking forward to see the "prototype".

Add some vinegar...to the water. It penetrates better...I've heard.
My colleague's(the chemists) told me so.

Greg,
I'm sorry to say, but I am from Norrland! I know the feeling. You must be living inland?
I just don't know what I'm doing down here...(swedish west coast)? In winter, no snow, just wet and dark dark dark...:-(

Sorry guys this has nothing to do with LT, but need to come out

You lucky bast....;-)

I spend a year way back in the 80's in Squaw Valley. Now I'm living on the swedish west coast (no snow, no mountains) trying to build skis...how smart am I?
Why didn't I go back /stay...don't even think ask that question!

Ski for me please!

How about something in the summer? Getting ready for the next season...I'm spending a couple of weeks i Zermatt this summer. Hiking and skiing.

Cheers

Are you using snoCad-X? And printing the .pdf file?

Thanks guys I sealed my bag ,the long side, with a heat gun. Since, as it shows in the video, no glue will help on poly! It sealed really well! On the short sides I used the technique showed on JoeWoodworker, the one with clamps. The bag is very sealed! I only run my pump 25 sec/hour. At 23¨hg..whoo...
