Building 3lb Carbon Fiber Skis (6lb/pair)

[@davidwitkowski9216]

Amazing craftsmanship!

[@shaggys_skis]

Thank you!

[@th3oryO]

Considering the self-imposed handicaps, this is particularly impressive. Obviously there are many other ways to lighten up the ski but that would require some sort of compromise such as foreign lumber, introduction of voids, or modification of ski shape/design. Very cool.

[@shaggys_skis]

Thanks! It was a fun project for the whole team!

[@chewyz2193]

Nice work!

Where do you get the ski edges from? Cool video.

[@SebastianBig]

Awesome job. Guys, what kind of foil do you use to keep the cassette clean?

[@greggoldman893]

After one year, how did they ski??

[@nomadtrails]

What was the length on the 3lb ski? This is awesome, I always have a ski at about that weight in my quiver for very big/long days and mountaineering missions. Would definitely consider this for my next ski in that quiver slot.

[@shaggys_skis]

Those were 174s!

Did you guys use any CF in the 45/-45 directions? I could only see the uni going in the 0, ( I’m a hobby ski builder have had mixed luck with CF layups)

[@shaggys_skis]

Yes, all of our carbon skis have carbon running at 0/+45/-45. You can see some of it at @7:11.

How much would something like this cost?

[@Kleiminc]

You guys sooooo rock
