So I build skis on a really small scale, and this is just some advertising. Shitty advertising, but advertising. So, check it out on instagram @sneekskis

Thanks yo

Few questions for you.


1. What are the cores made out of?

2. How are you pressing them?

3. Do you have any kind of waiver or insurance?

4. How many pairs have you made so far?

You should make a twin tip with metal. I know it sounds stupid but I like dicking around throwing 180s off main trail jumps but I also want a damp and stable ski. the blizzard peacemaker is the only real ski like this

But of course! Basswood-ash cores mean lightweight and soft. Also full rocker to get those #butterz around. Check the insta. You'll see.

1. Basswood ash or maple aspen, still experimenting though.

2. Pneumatic press.

3. I do not.

4. Not entirely sure.

I've been making prototypes for years now, and I haven't made tons of pairs but I know the process very well and make quality, durable skis.

Heading out to slc from colorado for the next week. If you have anything laying around 115mm+ underfoot with a lot of rocker in the $250 range I would be stoked on some homemade powder sticks

Ha well I'm a short dude so I can't do anything for ya there. I have a pair of 123 underfoot that messed up in the press that I would part with for cheap but they're 168s so that makes it difficult.

That was the general idea. Short and fat. Probably pretty playful. I've never even mounted them so
