Couldn't agree more with Sam and Twizz. Way stiff, way, heavy, way expensive. Get your process down then get fancy. I have now made 19 pair. I'm just getting to the point that I'm willing to take a chance on exotic material experiments. I'm going to try for a lightweight ski this season. Basswood c...

So it did work!
This is the most fun I have had in a groomed pist in a long time. It really does feel like 100 mph. It's a psykological ski. As long as I look ahead they ski just fine but as soon as I look down I freak out 'cause there is nothing there.

This is how I do it now. I used to do the "glue up a stack and resaw" but think this is a lot simpler.

I would try construction plywood if it is for a slam-slum-bamm- board. Buy a 12mm 8x4 and rip it up and profile. Or maybe check different thicknesses to see fiberdirections. The layers are thick in construction plywood and with a little bit of detective work I am sure you can get the cores to be mad...

This thread is old but interesting! I only use fiberglass in my ski. And after reading this I think that I will continue to do so. Is the conclusion here that the only thing that Carbon does is to reduce weight? doughboyshredder, twizzstyle, skidesmond and others, do you have anything to add to this...
