going snow skiing
please post any pics, videos, or all out fun stuff you guys have been through with skis on your planes. i know it's a little late in the season for some of you lucky(???) folks that got snow earlier in the year, but we JUST now started getting ours, and i'm off the next 3 days. i took the deminsions from the dubro skis and laminated some ply and basswood and scratch made myself a pair of skis. i'll post photos this evening. thing is i had a question about how MUCH snow is really needed for using them. we only have about 1/2 to 3/4 inch on the roads and parking lots, but the grass is a couple inches thick and ALMOST, but not quite, covered. i've never used skis on my plane, so is this still not enough? it's pretty powdery too. not really packed down or frozen good. the news goons are saying we may get upwards of 6-12 more inches over the next couple of days.
