| Subject: | No "Black Friday" For List Fund Raiser... |
Dear Listers,
Curiously, even though the number of List subscriptions are significantly up this
year, support during this year's Fund Raiser is still substantially behind
last year. There are only a couple more days left in November and the end of
the Fund Raiser is quickly approaching.
I have always preferred a non-commercial List experience as many, many members
have also expressed that they do as well. However, if the yearly fund raiser
cannot generate sufficient funds to keep the bills paid, other sources of income
might be required including some sort of advertising. Please don't let that
happen! Your personal Contribution of $20 or $30 goes a long ways to keeping
the operation a float.
Please make sure your name is on this year's List of Contributors published in
December.

Yes it is replaceable....flathead screws through the material and
through rosette-welded small tubes through the chrome-moly frame.
I always find something to modify on these skis. The first year I
built them I made them "wheel penetration" skis where the wheel
protruded through a hole in the ski, but last year I made up a new
set that is similar to the Federal Skis, where the wheel sits in a
notch in the ski. In this manner there is no ski material...frame,
bottom or otherwise..to cause drag behind the wheel. Anything behind
the wheel acts like a cheese slicer and just scoops up snow, etc.,
and deposits it on the rear of the ski, I have found.
