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 :-)

Making your own skis
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Stumbled upon an interesting video showing the ski making process in Ronin's workshop:
First part and
second part

Has anyone thought about making their own skis? Either physically having a go using predetermined shapes like the guy in the video, or going big and setting up their own workshop?

I wouldn't mind being part of the process as shown in the videos, I love getting my hands dirty and also enjoy having a deeper understanding of my equipment.

@Thomasski, @idris did make and sell skis at one point, i don't know if that is still happening as he's now working as a pisteur but the site is still live and the skis look great

If you want to get hands-on have a look at Douk. They do custom skis and snowboards and run 1 and 2 day workshops and walk you through building your own.

This is right up my street. I'd love to have a go. I've no doubt it's totally unjustifiable in terms of sunk cost or end result but I'd still be up for trying. If I ever found the time.

Wasn’t someone here bought a course as a present? In Austria?
