What a day!! Surprise cream cheese snow event, ropes being dropped everywhere and very few skiers on the mountain. This was great snow to build a base on. I live for these days skiing with my kids and friends. #whiteroomskis #creamcheesesnow #basebuilding #skiing #powder #skis #smuggslove #smuggs #friendsonapowderday
Day 2 in the books. What an amazing day of sun, bluebird skies, friends and family! If you haven’t thanked the snow makers, patrol and groomers yet you need to! Thank you Smuggs mountain ops for all of the work you’ve put in to get the season sliding the right direction. I have to say the surface today was really fun! @smugglersnotchvt #whiteroomskis #smuggs #thankasnowmaker #thankagroomer #skiing #skis #winter #mountains #smuggslove
Is there anything that else turns heads in the lift line like wood grain? The classic look of a wooden ski can be appreciated by everyone. What wood you build? #whiteroomskis #wood #woodveneer #skis #skiing #customskis
Kidone and I pressed his senior capstone project today. We had a great time in the shop working on this together. He is a talented student who excels in science and math. It’s really cool to be able to show him the practical side of the things he is learning in school. The ski itself is 174cm with dimensions of 129/96/119. The radius was somewhere around 16 meters. It has a 28cm tip rocker, 4-5mm of camber and a tail flare. We kept the flex medium. Weight before the base grind is 4lbs 1 oz. These should be at home on groomers, trees and moderate powder. #whiteroomskis #handmadeskis #customskis #vermontski #skiing #skis #capstoneproject #shoptimewithdad #practicallearning #learnbydoing
A quick look at some of what it looks like to layup a set of WhiteRooms. #whiteroomskis #customskis #handmadeski #skis #skiing #intheshop #madeinvermont
With ski season approaching, I’m winding down in the shop for the season. I pressed these gems today. A 160cm ski with dimensions of 126/96/116. It has a 25 cm rocker up front and a mini tail rocker with 4mm of camber. They weigh in at 3lbs 11 oz each before the base grind so they probably will end up around 3 lbs 9-10 oz. The flex is a smooth medium. If I had to give them a grade I’d say 9.9/10. What would you build for your custom set? #whiteroomskis #customskis #handmadeskis #skis #skiing #powderskiing #backcountryskiing #mountains #snow #madeinvermont #vermontmade #keepitchillandstaystoked

This finishes the construction on kidone’s ski parts for his #capstone project. We will press these during his #Thanksgiving break week. If things go well he will ski these for opening day @smugglersnotchvt #whiteroomskis #customskis #handmadeskis
