balsa wood strength to volume ratio = nothing. If balsa were a core material, could snag a pair of skis in one hand

But you could turn your skis into a biplane. Which is the real purpose of this thread.

Ok so apparently balsa wood biplanes aren't that popular.

Let me tell you this though. Balsa wood biplanes will make alpline touring obsolete.

actually, within the next 5 years wood cores will be out 100%. they're getting too expensive, and durafoam technologies are constantly improving. just you wait..

i hope your wrong with that and bamboo when grown in large quantaties will be able to be cheap. Salomon has the same old crappy foam that is the same crappieness year after year and for the balsa wood um.........i have to say such a bad idea on so many levels
