Carrying snow skis

Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

Zane...you are off a couple of decades. The Head 360's were introduced in 1968. I was doing the 215 downhills and the 207 rossignol stratos. Those stratos were really nice. Leather Molitor boots, Marker turntable bindings. Safe sex was a padded headboard. Oh yeah, the 60's....

You're about 15 years off for mine. I think I got them around 1970. I use 'em as my rock skis for Spring skiing, but they still do the trick.

If I'm gonna rock, I ski the Olin Mark IV.

Now I know why my dad kept his wood skis and leather bindings around...

My dad had a pair of these in the garage when I was a kid...might still. You have to be a real man to ski them. New skis with a lot of sidecut are so effortless to ski it is mind blowing.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

its funny how a little invention called the snowboard brought downhill skis out of a 40 year technology slump.
