Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Wrapping skis for Christmas

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Having purchased a nice new pair of Black Crows Ova Birdie for swmbo's Christmas pressie.
She has now decided we are to spend Christmas at her mother's (oh deep joy ! )


Wrapping and hiding skis is hard enough if staying at home but getting them in a car will be impossible to hide.

So I have made some replicas from some wooden spatula things, they are like big lolly sticks about 17cm
Printed a photo onto glossy paper, them trimmed to fit.



Should be a bit easier to wrap and hide Very Happy

You sir, are a genius, however, as you are now having to spend christmas with the outlaw I would suggest just giving her the replicas and keeping / trading the skis for yourself. Lesson will be well and truly learnt then!

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

@Neville,

You could have always cut the skis into 3 or 4 sections and enclosed an Ikea style instruction sheet on how to re-assemble them with just a hammer and glue Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Wrapping would have been easy then Laughing wink

@Neville,

Excellent! But (craft shop to the rescue?) what about bindings from balsa wood for the finishing touch?

@Neville, nice one, looks a little more sturdy than my effort this evening. A bit of edge repair might be needed too, though I doubt my daughter will care Very Happy

Haha, yes it is!

Quite well known in snowboarding, though I think only Lib Tech, Praxis and Moment are building skis with it...

Never tried it personally - and it doesn't make much sense intuitively to me - but some boarders swear by it!

Wait until the word spreads. Not only will boarders be accused of scraping the pistes - but also taking steak knives to them! Very Happy
