Ok, guys; thanks a lot.
Well... Canada could be an option too, tell me more; but to be honest Colorado is in the first place by now (easier to get a job there I think).

More ideas?!

ok Thanks; But I think "the west is the best" for us. You won´t know what is ice and hard pack till you come to ski to Sierra Nevada (the original one hoho) here in Spain.
Ummmm maybe I post a topic about Spain´s ski and ski resorts one of these days.

A friend and I are planning to go to America to work as ski instructors next season (2008/2009). Both we have ISIA level 2 (I don´t know the exact equivalence with american certification; level 4 maybe?) and adaptive alpine ski certification. Doesn´t matter if we must go to to the Rockies, the Casca...

I would need some advices abour where to place carbon (i, m planning...

Some more fiberglass (no alu this time), rice paper encapsulated graphics... Oh I almost forgot it.... the ist pair, the darkest one has an special wood look...

ok.... some more info. The first pair we made is the one in the middle. We made some mistakes. The dimensions a re 128-71-115, and it´s avery stiffi, maybe too much. One of the things that we worried about while making it was to make a stiff ski... so we used a 50/50 ash/oak core...2 alu layers and ...

Hey, thanks... All of them are ash, ash/oak or ash/samba vertical laminated cores and triax fiberglass. The big ones have uhmw sidewall, and the others wooden sidewalls. All of them have been pressed with a neumatic press. When we shaped the core of the pair at the right we noticed that the waist wa...

This is being agreat experience http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/e60164fdec.jpg Oh I almosto forgot it.......

It depends... is it twin tip or not? tele or alpine?. It could also depend on your foot size.
... a lot of options.
Don´t worry it´s an easy question, for the real experts (not me ) on the forum.

Hi guys, nice summer? hope so. My projects keep going on, 3 pairs built already (none tested, i´ll have to wait til november) thanks everybody at this forum for your knowledge and support. Some questions. First about cnc routers: Maybe i buy a secon handed big (but cheap) one for cutting bases, dye ...

I was looking for some system to heat my press and I found this web, they are spanish (like me) so this will mainly interest european people. They told me that they build the heating systems for rossignol snowboards, and though the budget for one of their heating systems would be prohibitive for me ...

I´m planning to use two layers of 1,2 mm of epdm rubber for the tail-tip spacers.
What do you recommend? bonding two layers together before laying up the ski?, maybe I should use a layer of fiberglass between them?

Thanks guys.
