Materials used in skis are typically not becoming stiffer/softer with temperature. Camber can change a bit with temperature though...

The plastic used in boot can change stiffness with temperature...

Interesting. It is possible that the "skateboard construction" was not helping with that (some wood fiber orienter along the width of the ski)...
