HB Skis and snowboard test.
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2016 1:07 am
I would say that the skis and boards were a complete success.
I have never skied on a wider ski in deep snow, so I was very pleasently surprised at how easy they were to turn in the deep snow.
The only change I would make at the moment is to make a lighter pair.
As I managed to break my first pair due to stupidity, I made the second pair of skis stronger by adding 2 extra layers of carbon fiber (One top & one bottom).
This took the weight of each ski up to 2 KG without bindings.
Here is a short video from last weekend.
