Day 8 Afternoon

This afternoon the class went to the Wagner Custom ski shop in Placerville to see how they make skis. The shop was really small and included a room with finished skis and two workrooms where they make the skis. We learned about the different materials they use to make skis and how they go about making the edges of the skis, the graphics and the different layers inside the skis. The whole process seemed like it was very complex and took a lot of time and energy, which is probably why the skis start at $1700. Visiting Wagner was fun and I learned a lot about the ski making process.
