adding traction steps, scales, or mohair to my skis

This is something I have been pondering for a bit and just am not sure of the way to attack it.

I have a pair of older 205cm cross country skis with metal edges that i am tired of waxing and am thinking of adding some kind of steps to the base.

My plan was to use a knife to cut steps into the base for added traction, I imagine this will be a time consuming process but am wondering if it will be worth it. Or if there is a better way to achieve my desired result.

I did a search but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks for any input ....
