RE: Any WINTER {SNOW} fliers?
my clubmate Len tried conventional skis, and these photos demonstrate the problem of controlling them.
The tend to go into a high drag nose up attitude at high airspeed (aerodynamic forces on the negatively cambered shape).
Sometimes they go nose down - OK on takeoff but awkward if they do it when you want to land.
