Wooden downhill skis with early Look release binding

Entry/Object ID

WVS0006

Description

These are wooden ridge skis dedicated to downhill skiing exclusively. They are equipped with a very early Look release binding. These Look bindings are a second mount, as evidenced by the holes made from installing a prior pair of bindings. This suggests that the skis are older than the Look bindings currently installed.
