My only gripe is that there isn't a fly sewn in...

We stored them with a block of wood underfoot and tips and tails together to try to maintain camber. That's precisely how you store wood x-c skis in the off season to maintain the camber. The camber on my wood skis are still good, each season, so far. An old timer told me, a few years back, that if...
