Enough talk about how light or poppy or buttery today's skis are... what we all really want to know is which skis would be best for use as a medieval weapons?


Core strength, swing weight, edge sharpness... stabbyness? DISCUSS

the 10th mountain division faced true combat. they were on a crude AT setup and slayed nazis.
so if we're talking alpine combat, I'll take my hoji boot / mwerks kingpin / and swap to a ON3P woodsman 102 tour in a 182.
bomber / stealthy setup.

Sakanas would be ideal, because sakana kinda sounds like katana, and I wouldn’t want to be hit by a katana

I thought it was a known fact that volants from the 90s were of choice. Those were swords. If it was today, probably some nordica enforcers, head Kores, or dynastar m frees

I think some fresh poachers are a solid option for a fight

Blades of course. Maximum edge/length/weight without becoming unwieldy

I believe the new atf regulations require a concealed carry permit for blades due to their small size that allows for easy concealment

Buy swallow tails, sharpen into a point, and use as a bayonet.

Woodmans were made for the shit. It's like a ski that a 'Nam vet would've thought up.

Whiteface has a pair of the all metal custom made Volants they used on display. I'll catch a flic next week, those things could be used as javelins.

Line Honey Badger.

Would work like a hollow point bullet sort of.
strike someone with the ski and on impact it shreds into 14,0000,000 pieces of shrapnel. Bad news to be on the receiving end.
