making skis

We came across a thread today. An individual asked about making skis. Here is one of the responses:

I think the tutorial goes something like this:

1) get a lot of money together

2) research the shit out of the specs

3) go thru a lot of pain lining up some manfacturing

4) go thru a rediculous amount of pain making a run or two on schedule

5) test the shit out of it, tweak design

6) repeat 4 and 5

7) ship some bad ass skis

8) stress all day and night over your commitments

9) repeat 4 thru 8.

I dunno. I give small companies two thumbs up for what they are doing, it sounds WAYYY to painful for a slacker like me ;)

This guy summed it up perfectly...
