Sweeeeeet, Lynn! They look pretty much like mine, except for the two
"cross-over" bars you have. Do you also find that the tiny wheels at
the end of the skis increase your longitudinal stability as you land?
Cheers,
Michel

I think that they do, Michel. They probably act like keels on a boat,
eh? The first landing I made with them was about a week after we had
a pretty intense ice storm here, and the grass runway was pretty
crunchy ice, covered with snow. I treated the landing like a soft
field landing, keeping the tail low, so of course the tails of the
skis touched before the main wheels...the sound was very unusual. It
reminded me of the old curb feelers that were sold back in the
fifties. For those that don't recall or never heard of them, they
were a device that was clamped to the bottom of the fender of your
car, and it would touch/rub the curb when you were parking the car.
It was essentially a bicycle spoke with a 1/4" blob of metal on the
rubbing end, and a small clamp on the other end. The rubbing against
the curb would resonate through the body of the car, letting you know
you were close enough to the curb...it was about 12" long, but I
digress...
