Kontour
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 8:10 pm
This design was inspired by the many adventures I shared with good friends in the Cascade Pass area.
I finished one pair today with a good friend visiting from Salt Lake City, and then sent him home with a present. I created the artwork using a topo map of Cascade Pass -- the white 'kontour' lines turned out pretty nice. The artwork was printed onto a PBT topsheet by some kind folks I know in town. I'm using white UHMW sidewalls, hand profiled and flamed. The core is made of pine. Inside of the core somewhere between cord center and the tip is a damping sandwich to help keep things quiet. Thin VDS foil rubber is used in all the right places, and the epoxy comes from a good source, QCM.
I'm pretty happy with this pair and the skis have a medium+ish stiffness about them. This week I'll finish up a few more pairs, one of which I'll take out in the new snow we're getting!!!
