FISHSCALES




..my brother is tired of snowshoeing, his distaste for it rubbed off on me, now we are both tired of snowshoing, so we decided to kick and glide our way to the spring snow (certain trails require skis or snowshoes to perserve trail system)..however skins don't glide enough. But waxless does, good old "fishscales", from our skinny ski days. My idea was to pack out the router base on an angle and cut the fishscales directly into ptex on an old snowboard and then rip it into a pair of approach skis..seemed to work...so we quickly tested them out last weekend (all went well!!) hope to push their limits on friday..(bindings are from circa 2001 design to accept any soft shoe- pika mountaineering)

check video for fishscales in action at closed test track PS i'm a natural
