Testing the skis on grass and snow

The weather was good this Sunday and I did try my skis. Very optimistic I brought my snow shovel to the airfield but there was actually no snow left… 
The skis vibrate quit a lot when taking off from a rough grass strip like ours as the wheels don’t penetrate that much. But it works well.
On a nearby airfield I found some snow, at least enough to feel the difference. Very smooth, no vibrations and a good feeling of sliding – just like on skis!
The explanation to why I fly with a Santa Claus hat will come closer to Christmas…
