"On this proud and beautiful mountain we have lived hours of fraternal, warm and exalting nobility. Here for a few days we have ceased to be slaves and have really been men. It is hard to return to servitude."

Wooden skis

After contemplating the need for new skis, and deciding I didn't, I was curious about alternatives to mass produced commercial skis. I wondered if there were more environmentally friendly alternatives that also could perform. I've always  been a bit nostalgic, and try not to be overwhelmed by the latest and greatest fads and trends, there needs to be a correlation between functionality and technological advancement. I've also always been a fan of simple design and materials and have previously looked around at wooden skis as a viable alternative.
