Poster: A snowHead
|
In the alps at the moment, and as usual in the summer there lots of sales, including a ski I have looking at for a while
however one slight (big??) issue, and I am not sure of the answer, hence asking the collective wisdom here
Have been Looking at a pair of pursuit 18's that are in a 50% off sale in a shop, one ski of the pair is in the window, in very bright sunlight most of the day, the other is inside in the shop.
Will the exposure to the hot sun damage it, (or the fitted bindings) its been there for at least 2 weeks as we have been here for that length time, and the sun hits the window directly and it was really hot near the window in the shop, so will be even hotter in the window area.
so one of the pair has been inside the shop at the back, the other in very different conditions in the window.
may be a silly question...sorry if it is

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Sepends how long its been in the window, generally most places will be happy enough to stick the window and non window ski together so you can see if theres any visual difference side by side, then turn them over and look at the bases to see if theres any difference, if you can't see anything between the two you should be ok

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Dove, well, they're 50% off, so only fair if only one ski works.

Simply buy two pairs and use the two best skis, selling off the two dud ones as a pair at a 75% discount.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Will be fine, might discolour a white top sheet, hdpe (the base) is pretty uv resistant, maybe some degradation but I wouldn't expect it to be noticeable! Epoxy and things holding it together should be fine they are not so heat sensitive and not directly exposed to uv (though it would take a few years even if it were)

Dove, consider what a ski spends its life doing: hanging out in strong UV, going from freeze, ultra-freeze to thaw in short periods of time, being asked to carry a grown human on its back for days on end...
And you worry that a little holiday in the sun might be a problem?
