Ha! Dude. That’s super rad! I love your style man.Yes, that is Moira, we have had her since June. She is a rescue from northern Ontario and quite happy to be here.
Junkboards are DIY rock/tele skis made out of old snowboards. In this case, I found a Burton Jossi Okansen 159 pro model in the dumpster at work, mysteriously missing its edges. After seeing a video on telemark junkboarding, I decided to go for it. I traced out the sidecut, ripped it up the middle on a bandsaw, sealed the exposed wood with West System epoxy and bolted on some Super Telemark binders I had lying around with stainless steel T-nuts. All in, cost me about $6. Wax for grip with nordic wax and use old school leather tele boots. Woo hoo!
Some context:
So there aren’t any edges on one side of each ski? How does that ski? I’m guessing it doesn’t matter much in natural fresh?
