I have been collecting skis for some time now and actually built a ski museum in my house. Some of the defuct skis that I have are: Torque, Hedlund and Lund, Churchill, Hexcel, Sea Glider, Vogue, Taperflex, Voit, Wally Burr, Velmar, Apco, Rail, Cut N' Jump, Murdoch, Flecky-Snyder, Carbonworx, Aluma craft, Wiley, Lowell, Western Wood, Northland, Cypress Gardens, Hydro Flite and my oldest are Dolphin Akwa-Skees (1925). I have skied on all of them and I am amazed how the skiers of their era were able to ski so well on them. There is a lot to the history of ski making I hope it will never be lost.
