Old Ski Info

Post by Greenhighlander » Fri Jan 07, 2022 9:39 am

I have 2 pair of fairly old skis. They were in the rafters of the garage when I bought this house several years ago. I do plan on cleaning them up at some point if even just for decoration.
Any and all info would be much appreciated.

Mid 1900's alpine skis is all I can say confidently. 50's, maybe 40's vintage. I remember the St. Moritz brand skis.

Thank you. The best guess I could come up with from the very limited things I found from google searching was early to mid 60s.
The base on one pair looks like it has never been skied . The other has a few marks but nothing serious. They don't have bases like I have ever seen.

Looks like 50's to early 60's. Similar to the SEARS skis I had about that time. The "odd" base is ebonite. As in Ebonite Bowling Balls. The new hot tech for high speed.

This place is always a good resource:

You can even send a photo of your skis and he will know what they are and when they were made...
