Shape Ski

How can I bend a downhill or cross-countrty ski, into a soft arch, without breaking it?
- Should I heat it if it is metal; or soak it, to try to warp a wood cored ski.
- It does not have to hold the shape. It will be fastened with screws, through the ski into the sub structure. Simply bend without breaking
Honestly, given that MOST skis are now a MIX of carbon-fiber, metal, wood, and plastics I wouldn’t be applying HEAT to them !!
You COULD hunt around at garage-sales for OLD WOOD skis, wrap them in towels and pour boiling water over them, then bend the ski
With a Carbon-fiber ski, I’d just build a “Jig” to get the arc you want… SLOWLY BEND it, and screw it to your sub-structure.
GOOD LUCK and wear safety glasses.
