Installed skis today

Hi all,  I have all of 5" snow on my runway now, and could really feel it when I landed on wheels the other evening.  Figured it's time for skis.  Ran out of daylight today, so didn't get to fly, but taxied them just a bit in the fading light.  Here they are sitting with the dolly wheels on them so you can move the plane around easier.  JImChuk

I like your skis! I'd like to build something like that! Any tips or pointers you can give me? Length, width, aluminum thickness? Could you use a shock( as light as posible) like the old snowmobiles had?

I have a drawing somewhere that I didn't completely finish, I'll try to find it and post it.  Here are some close up pictures in an earlier thread.  JImChuk
