Small custom manufacture made skis, which is still cool, but not as satisfying as tearing out your hair trying to press skis in your garage.

I've also made my own pair. Kinda screwed up the epoxy so you can see some of the fiberglass but they work... so far

Those skis are really cool! You can do it as a business dude, customizing skis.

If that's the first pair you attempted to make and they came out like that, you should definitely consider starting a small side business making them.

Thanks dudes. They work great on groomers, but I'll have to wait and see how they do in the pow, after all I meant for them to be All Mountain/Pow skis. Btw guys, I used a small company's (Rocket Skis) vacuum pump so I didn't have to buy my own. Gave them some cred on the graphic.
