Been prepping X-country vintage wooden skis. The skiis are 38yrs old, fantastic shape....."Asnes", our go to much of the winter. We load up small pack with hearty trail food, hot coffee, brandy and of course....mariquana. The forests are so beautiful in winter, like a different world . To be in the deep wood blanketed in white , no wind ,where the only sound is giant flakes of snow hitting forest floor.
Pulled a good one on my wife last night, I mistook her skiis for mine.....she spent all night resurfacing bottom of ski with our homemade pine tar. She did a great job.....the look on her face when I told her the skies were mine....a great yuk !
Just can't find this old school, outdated equipment easily...I understand why people want it.
You just can't beat the feel of a good wood ski.....they ride like a Cadallic compared to the " plastic", cookie-cutter x-country ski ( my opinion and experience). I have about 7 pairs of woods.
