Anyone have any information on how much they presumably suck.  Searchbar brought up nothing.  I had no idea they made skis.  Here they are for sale on eBay.

It has to be some sort of joke....at least I sure hope it is some sort of joke.!!!! If they are anything like their skate or snowboards....then it is definitely a joke!

not a joke. however, its not a "world industry ski" its a ski manufactured by someone with a world industry graphic.

full wood core, 150cm, 100ish bucks. sounds like an okay choice for a kid who is learning to ski a little later then the rest.

They actually have a wood core. For your young shredder they are a decent option at 100 bucks. Better than your typical foam core junior ski. They're a junior ski.

That brings me back. My first snowboard when I was little was a World Industries. I loved that thing so much. Awesome brand for lil shredders.

Yea, they are manufactured by some other company although that name escapes me now. Im pretty sure you used to be able to find them at the house boardshop. From what I remember they are cap construction that delaminates fairly easy

If WI had made decent park skis, that would've gone so hard.

I wonder if Never Summer would ever make skis

They are tecno-pro twintips re-branded. Cap construction cheap, entry level twin tips that were available at places like Sportchek and maybe wal mart. Nothing wrong with them for a new park skier or someone looking for cheap skis to beat up on rails.
