Let me introduce the Zai Spada, a ski where the core is made of stone (gneiss to be precise). You may utter a WTF right about now…
Apparently stone has “impressive damping characteristics that are ideal for ski construction” and if you wrap it all in carbon fiber it will also withstand shear stress i.e. it won’t turn into an expensive rattle for your kid. Apparently you learn something new every day… And it was all made possible by the brains at Tehnocarbon.
I have to admit though that I’m more inclined to get a pair of Tschadilas (but then I take another look at DPS quiver and I’m back on track for Wailer 105s)
