The base is 1/4" plywood that's bend to form the ski. It needs to be high quality plywood, but I'm not sure what to ask for or look for. Is there a name or name brand of plywood that I should be buying?


Looks like cold-molded to me. Buy or cut the veneers, make a form,
glue it up in the shape.

Here are a couple of videos:

You could also bend solid wood.

Generally speaking plywood is not bendable after manufacture. There
is some that is flexible but that kind won't hold a bend without
support.
