Abstract
A ski stiffness indicator comprising a type of a C clamp which receives a pair of skis placed bottom to bottom, and which can be used to force the middle portions of the skis together. The force required for urging the portions of the skis together is registered on a gage, and the flexing of the skis under a selected load indicates the stiffness of the skis, and thus indicates the relative flex to select skis for varying conditions. Also, the load required to make the skis touch along their length indicates the ski stiffness.
