Ski standards developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
Although it is not a glamorous or financially rewarding activity, the work of writing standards has been of benefit to the entire skiing community. The benefit or contribution of any particular standard varies, but the overall benefit of standards is real. The sport is safer and the responsibilities of various segments are clearer because of the efforts of the standard writers.
