For my senior project, I want to make skis, but I need to have a "community expert" who has 5 years experience - its a school requirement, and I also have never made them before so I would obviously benefit from receiving help from someone with experience

ya thanks man ik the run on3p
the only problem is that im kinda on the east coast, and when i looked on their website, it said they were in the west. It def wouldn't be an ideal situation, especially because this is a hands on thing, but thanks for the idea, +k, and I may need to end up doing this

this is a little off topic for the thread but what were you planning on using to press the skis?
