In the first place, they are edge grain that means that the grain runs on up and down through the ski the surface against slivering Then in shape and in the degree curvature they meet the standards. They may be in ash, hickory, maple or yellow pine and in a of finishes. Those illustrated are of hickory and run from $7.00 to $9.00 depending up on the length. In other woods they may be had as low as $2.00 per pair. In measuring yourself for ski stand in front of a wall raise your arm above your head with elbow stiff and fingers extended. Where your finger tips reach make a mark and the distance from there to the floor measured along the wall will give you the length of ski you require. Northland Skis run from 5 to 9 feet in length. Northland Ski bindings are superior and cost $3.50.
