Even if the snow is an optional this season in the Alps, I decided to go skiing to test the sksi I built 2 months ago.
They are 108-80-104, 178 cm lon, 3 Kg. Tips and tail (on 15 cm) are made with a Ptex-vibrachoc-Ptex sandwich, jointed to the woodcore.
The real special thing is the base: PTEX 900, one side treated and the other is smooth. After pressing I polished the base slightly with sand paper, grinded the edges to the base level, and used a sharp metal scraper to shave the base.
Then I went skiing. Without waxing.
Well, they were fast. Both on cold snow (over 2000m ) and on the spring snow I found at the bottom.
