Paul Miller Jun 11, 2014: Sorry, that should be "... skis screwed together"
Paul Miller Jun 11, 2014: emergency rescue sled made of skis screws together I'm not a mountain rescuer, just a ski mountaineer, but the idea you have is right. Skis and avalanche shovels often have holes so they can be screwed together to form a sled. See: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochgebirgsjägerzug#Ausr.C3.BCs... and: http://www.math.utah.edu/~eyre/rsbfaq/skis.html under 4.4.1
