Nice. About the skis, they apparently are semi-rigid.
Ha yeah! Until you lose your skiis in the woods! Haha
I'm a fairly accomplished alpine skiier. Wow, that's awesome! Are you aware of skiing history? It's been around for almost 5,000 years. I've been skiing since I was very young, but no, I didn't know that. What else do you know about skiing history? So, early on, skiers would just just one long pole, or a spear. Ah, I see. When did they start using two poles? Well, the first depiction of such a skier was in 1741. Oh, interesting. What about the skis, what were they like? Well, they'd use one long ski on one leg and a shorter ski on the other. That sounds ridiculous. Either way, skiing is really a lot of fun. Nothing like finding some fresh powder.
A ski is a narrow strip of semi-rigid material worn underfoot to glide over snow.
