With the next pair. Cubed, Right right right. I'm considering just running the cores through the planer once more with the same profiler to take the tip and tail to just under 3mm. Then adding a 2nd layer of 19oz triax under the binding area. I have a pair of Bluehouse skis that are stiff as heck, bamboo cores, carbon stringers and they have two layers of fiberglass under foot. The whole ski is only around 13mm in the middle which makes me think the core is well below 10mm. Yikes!

I might also just lay them up how they are and see how the ski. Adjust from there.

Press Envy! I love it. If you end up dropping by some time you won't have garage envy. It's small, and a mess. Working on that one. It is a beast though. It should be weighing in at over 1,200lbs with the molds and cat track. I calced 1.13mm of deflection at 100psi. Once I have time it will be painted white and blue and named "Snowflake".

You said that the big companies post layup videos? like what big companies, and any companies that make freestyle park skis?

Tons of videos. It's a sticky on the "Design and Layup" area of the forum. http://www.skibuilders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3173
