Just another 2" day at the Bird skiing with my old roomate (he's the one filming). Caught a bunch of air, had many a pow turn, and didn't ride the tram once. This stuff is just way too much fun. Thank god for night shift.

Cool vid. Thanks for the link. Sort of some surprising methods they use. Maybe this is how they do more of their prototypes and big skis. I would have thought they stamped out their base material, not finish the sidewalls with a hand router, and not attach the edges with glue before hand. Whatever. ...

From what I've seen in the ski industry as a consumer, the last big lasting innovation was the shaped (parabolic) ski. It revolutionized skiing. Most other innovations fade after a couple years, until a new one comes a long that makes the old one seem ancient... There's a fine line between innovati...

Different fiberglass weights
I just received a bunch of fiberglass from Raka and they sent me different stuff from last time. I didn't notice the difference until I was cutting it to size. The stitching is a bit different and it felt stiffer and heavier than the previous stuff. I weighed out some small sections and the old stuf...

Check it out: http://www.codaboards.com/topsheets.php
They are $40 each including material. Shipping is priced a bit weird. It's $20 to ship 1 or about $21 to ship 4.

Coda Boards sublimated graphics
I realize most people are aware of Coda Boards sublimated topsheets, but I still wanted to start a dedicated thread to make it easier for people to search for them. Their service is awesome and deserves some added attention. So far I've placed 3 different orders with them and I received all of them ...

Well I thought I liked soft skis but...........my cores are quite a bit thicker. A few pair of skis last year were around 2-2.5 tip, 10.5-11 waist, 3-3.5mm tail, and everyone thought they were too soft--but me. I've always been a fan of a softer, more forgiving tip and tail, but stiff under foot. Th...

I'm going on swing shift next Monday. 3:00-11:30. Almost perfect hours if you have to work 8+ hours a day. I was the only engineer at our place to volunteer for this shift. I signed up for it through April. I did it last winter as well. I got about 115-125 days in. Almost all of them half days, but ...

Looks like you way over cooked your skis to me. I did this on the first pair I pressed with heat. Mine didn't turn out that bad, but they had huge blisters on them. They were also smoking pretty good when I took them out of the press. I only have heat on the bottom and I had my TC located on the top...
