    I don't know where to buy one but here are some plans to make your own heated ski press.

    Have you got a shape/flex in mind?

    yeah, make your own. It isn't that hard.

    For good heating blankets, check these guys out.

    Bwahaaa. Just do what every other mfg does and build your own.

    The other option is keep an eye out for relocating / merging factories, as they may be unloading some eqp.

    thanks for the thoughts / plans / advice guys. The reason I ask for a used one is a guy in Andermatt Switzerland (birdos.com) who makes skis for me now (I live near Engelberg) for my Zski (www.zski.net) got a deal on a press last year which even with shipping from the USA was about half the price of building one (here in Switzerland).

    Whoa! I might park my Snollerblades for one of them. I'm thinking florescent one piece with matching head band.

    It looks like a single (water) ski for the snow. The inventors of mono blades will be turning in their polyester lined one piece coffins.

    My advice is let it pass. Pretend it never happened.
