Because if skis were short and round, they would be called "bicycles".
There's usually not much use for oil with skis. Modern skis are mainly plastic, and oil won't do much for them. Older wodden skis are/were traditionally treated with tar as a sort of base preparation to keep the snow from sticking to them.
You should get new skis when your side wall is shot... When your base is torn up beyond repair... If your skis in in two pieces... If your technology is outdated.
Yes, there is a company that allows you to design pretty much every aspect of your ski. Rocker, Camber, Sidecut, Graphics, Material Selection, Length, etc. They are building mogul skis, super fat powder skis, and they've got a pretty cool review section. The company is called 333 Skis and they are saying that the base price of their skis is $333 and they built their own factory. www.333skis.com

First of all you need sharp skis. without sharp skis you can carve in the snow and you start sliding everywhere. You can test your skis by scraping your finger nail on the edge. if a little part of your nail comes off after sliding down with the slightest pressure you can tell it is sharp. also waxing makes skis go faster and i have heard that rubbing soap on the bases of your skis makes them go super fast, (but it leaves bubble's.) I hope this answers your question!
Yes
Snow skis can be sold at local auctions or car-boot-sales. Online markets such as Amazon and ebay could also be used as they offer a more convenient sale as well as a wider customer base.
