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 :-)

Slalom skis have very bumpy sidewalls following a rushed strip. Will it cause drag? Yes, .01 seconds matters
Any way of fixing it?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm which skis?
I guess you got some judder on the sidewalk cutter?
Depends on model but redo with cutter...or sand carefully...or just wax...
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yes, that's exactly what happened and it's very deep unfortunately. They're Salomon sl 145s, a new set.

Argh - easily done. Smooth with sandpaper as best you can I think. Then crayon on some wax and brush them.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Set up a router very carefully.
Use the right bit.
Beautiful sidewall stripping, very quick.
Practice on a set of old skis.
Once you have the set up right you can't go wrong, but remember to practice on old skis!

Does it actually affect the speed though? Might just leave alone if not...
