These pictures are taken by an old (end of the sixties) ski encyclopedia:


This drawing was made by Francesco Negri, in 1663, during his journey to Scandinavia. They have reverse camber and reverse sidecut…

In the Ski Museum in Oslo I saw some wood skis, made around 1900, with a Salomon ProLink wood bar...
