Ski dims: 137-105-122 188cm
Core size 168cm
55% ash/45% poplar core with a long taper to a 35cm swollen semi flat spot underfoot.
2-11-2
12oz biax and 4.1 oz carbon 0 degree uni stuff from sollar composites top and bottom.
Wood Veneer topsheet, zebrawood
Super Sap epoxy.
I realize a stiffness profile is massively dependent on the core but am I gonna be way under composite weight just making these noodles or what?
In my experience the wood topsheet adds stiffness on the 0 degree.
The ash is stiffer than the other core blends I have made. The core feels great, stiffer in the tail for sure but not too soft up front.
Am I trying to get to a full weight of composite close to a 22oz that I have used in the past?
OR use 1/3 of the remaining weight after the glass as a carbon composite?
Would a 9oz carbon be more appropriate here?
Ski is also somewhat skinnier than others I have made.
We made a few like this but plastic topsheet and full triax and polar/maple and poplar/beech cores that were also thicker than the above dims but profiled on center.
ahh so many variables.
Your thought?
