Core suggestions

Post by COfreeride »

Im just getting things started off, still in the process of getting my shop in order and getting my press & jigs built. Just curious about what has been working (wood wise) for powder skis? First pair i'm doing will be a 160-132-151 (172cm) Rocker tip/tail & slight camber underfoot. Looking for a mid-soft flex good in the pwdr but still able to hild an edge on the groomers.
Suggestions for;

- Core (wood types), profile height's
- Fiberglass (cross weave or not) or lay up's that have worked well
and any other suggestions that may help.

Thanks

i dig bamboo..
easy to get, hard, machines well. Mix it with poplar and you have a more terrestrial ski.
