All Things Amann

Amann Skis

This could be a very short "All Things". I just found one short blurb in a ski magazine from the sixties online and now I can't find it again. There was a favourable review ( aren't they all?) for an intermediate ski and mentioned Amann had been around for 40 years but mostly in Europe. Made in Austria.

edit: well, just found it again

I had a pair of Amann skis, I think is was in the early 80s. One day while skiing a mogul run first the top sheet of one ski completely de-laminated and then a couple of turns later the other ski also de-laminated, with both curling all the way up to the binding toe piece. That night out came epoxy, clamps and a bolt through the ski tip. These repaired skis then lasted for years.
