 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone got any suggestions as what to do with an old pair of straight skis?
these are the only things I could think of:-
a very thin self
drill holes in them and make the worlds longest spice rack.
use them for runners on a suicidal sledge
any thoughts?
on a more serious note how do I dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way?

ebay them, someone will probably want them, whatever condition..
theres nothing more environmentally friendly as reusing something.. (unless they only buy them to use a kindling for a tyre fire  )

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

You can always throw them our way, we use them in the Boot Camp training facility here (www.bctt.co.uk) to teach new ski shop techs or DIY ski techs how to do things right.
And we sometimes lend Edddie The Eagle Edwards old ones for the Birdman Pier jumping contest on Worthing pier 
If you are near us and want to know they will be used for more than firewood do feel free to drop them in, will at least give you a nice brew in return!

PS - Gotta say I love that deck chair, and the wine rack on the other thread. Feeling the edge to go back to work and have a go right now...

WellySki0009,
Great to hear you'd like to donate your skis!

Sledging is the only answer, A 2 m long sledge will create some transport and steering problems so I am working on an articulated version. Now any hints as to how to cut skis neatly in half.
