Walk or ride an animal.
Yes. K2 Sideshow skis are made from China
Most Atomic skis are made in Austria, but they also have a factory in Bulgaria.

in the 70 s
Before 1990, skis typically had straight parallel edges, i.e. the same width everywhere. Then came along the snowboard, which was able to "carve" easily due to the curved siderails, which made the board narrowest in the middle. This shape made the snowboard easy to turn by tilting it on its edge, and riding this way became known as "carving". To allow skiers to carve with the same ease as snowboarders, the skis were modified to have a shape similar to snowboards: Wide at the ends, and with a narrow width in the middle of these skis. At their introduction, such skis were sold as "carving skis", to differentiate them from the traditional, straight-edge skis. The "carving skis" were indeed easier to turn and learn. They became a big success and generally replaced the older ski design. As a result, today pretty much all skis are "carving skis", and the distinction is not really necessary anymore. SJO
The K2 public enemy skis are made of wood (fir). These skis are known to be good for park and pipe trickery.
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 If your technology is outdated.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 you can make skis, but it would be hard. You need all sorts of materials, machinery and expertise to make quality skis. All the big ski companies have scientists and designers to develop skis. But if you want i'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make a good old fashion pair of wood skis. The bindings could be tricky though.In fact some ski companies just started with people like you who wanted to make skis. For example the company Line was started by Jason Levinthal in 1995. He made his first skis in his own garage.
NO PEOPLE CAN'T ON LESS THEY HAD SKIS
People can also use snowboards or snowblades (the short little skis that people sometimes use). At larger resorts sometimes you can also use snowshoes, cross-country skis, snowmobiles. and tubes (for tubing).
