Besides a skishotz, fencing (as in picket, not sword play, wall décor,

While good old skis should be still be used for skiing and enjoyment, those not suited for this life anymore, well.....now I only have to find instructions to turn old poles into arrows.

I've used a working ski to scrape wax in a pinch more than once.. Stepping out on the snow and realize the cold wax didn't get scrapped down.. Take them off and scrape them down with the other ski edges.

We also used to stick skis in the snow about 18" apart, tips up and crossing for backrest then lay a pole across the binding heels for an instant chair

Chairs, door handles, and, uhh, skiing.

Esty store from Vermont - picture frames, bottle openers, business cards holders, wine bottle holders, poles made into wind chimes.

My boot fitter makes chairs...Muskoka type. Hubby made benches.

Interesting how they object to tillering a bowstave, but then build up a fancy laminate midsection.

My thought was at least it gives us an armed advantage of the boarders

I used some old skis to make a bike rack. One piece laid down flat, other pieces bolted to L-brackets along it at intervals. The rear tire leans against the vertical skis and keeps my bikes organized and upright.

Here is what we used to do and may do Saturday if we stay for the Big Air comp. Put the tips closer together for better back support.. harder to do when skiing twins though..

Old Volkl Explosiv and Rossi Axium. I made that wooden table above the bikes also. Super helpful for keeping helmet and all the other stuff right there next to the bikes.
