     TESTS 
     
    
   
   
    
     Not many skiers have the 
     
     nerve. let alone the memory, to 
     
     go through all of those steps 
     
     that are generally outlined for 
     
     examining a pair of skis before 
     
     buying, In fact, it usually isn‘t 
     
     even really necessary. 
     
    

    
     Most medium- and higher- 
     
     priced skis are fairly true to 
     
     specifications and lower- 
     
     priced skis are, well, lower- 
     
     priced skis. 
     
    

    
     The one serious flaw that 
     
     has been showing up in better 
     
     skis (possibly because it oc- 
     
     curs after the skis have been 
     
     inspected at the factory) is 
     
     warping, and this tlaw can be 
     
     annoying to a skier. For- 
     
     tunately, however, there are 
     
     some easy tests to expose a 
     
    
   
   
    
     warped ski. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Place the ski bottoms 
     
     together, tip to tip and tail to 
     
     tail. Now making sure the tips 
     
     touch all the way across, hold 
     
     the skis gently in the middle 
     
     and look down at the tails. If 
     
     the tails don't touch all the way 
     
     across the bottom surface, 
     
    
   
   
    
     suspect warping. Wiggle the: 
     
    
   
   
    
     skis together to see if you can 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘ hear a rattle at the top or tail. 
     
    
   
   
    
     This, too, indicates warping. 
     
     Next, right, slip your hands up 
     
     to the tips, and keeping them 
     
     together, lift the skis from the 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     , other. 
     
    
   
   
    
     FOR WARPING 
     
    
   
   
    
     floor. Look for a thin streak of 
     
     light where the tail surfaces 
     
     are not touching — that’s war- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ping. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     A very — perhaps the most 
     
     — convincing test is to hold 
     
     the skis up against a strong 
     
     light source. With the tails pin- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ched together, look towards 
     
     the tips. If the skis are warped. 
     
     the edges will not be touching 
     
     all the way across the bottom 
     
     of the skis. Don’t buy that pair 
     
     under any circumstances.
