Well, I've always said that my main complaint with skis is the fact that they have to be used in snow... now I don't have to worry about that pesky white shit sticking to the top!

This would be useless most of the year. Snow doesn't stick to skis when the temp is below 20ish.

The referenced post has been removed.


We use topsheet material that isn't perfectly smooth, i.e. bumpy and / or string - woodgrainy looking material. Seems to keep the snow off a lot more than the super smooth topsheet that most companies use. Also, scratches aren't nearly as noticeable as they are on smooth topsheets.

One of the most pointless things in skiing I've heard of. If there is snow on your skis wipe it off.
