Benski Originals

[benski]

After a couple of years of pondering, press building, mistakes (many!) and lots of tea drinking I found myself riding my first pair of skis for a couple trips to the Alps. Without this forum it would always have been a pipe dream but the the wealth of knowledge and experience made dream become reality!

Look super nice Benski!

A bit of a description would be great.
What's the topsheet (black carbon looking) stripes?

Thanks Sam,

Some more details coming soon, work gets in the way! You are right the black yarns are carbon with variable angle through the ski length,for torsional stiffness in the nose and tail and longitudinal through the middle portion - I’ll explain a bit more shortly...

I love that carbon mesh fabric! Can you give details about it?
