Imagine having clear skis and being able to see through them as you skis....that would be soooooo dope....i want some...you could see the snow gliding under you skis...and the rocks taking big chunks out of them.

All the fun of losing skis in pow PLUS not being able to see them... BRILLIANT!!!

There's a reason nobody makes white skis, eh?

I think some Polycarbonate might make a good topsheet material, although it might be better used as a core.

But as for chroming, one can have that done to their skis pretty cheap, there's shops that could probably do both your skis for 30 bucks or so.

or you could vacuuchrome your own.

^the only way you would be able to chrome your skis is if they were completely made of metal. the material has to conduct electricity VERY well as the nickel base coat and the chrome coat are bonded electrically. and if they were all metal and you did want them chromed, good luck finding anywhere to do it for under $500 a pair. i had to steal rental poles from my mountain because i couldnt find all steel poles. aluminum would work, but it would flake alot easier
