Mine too! Yellow Yamahas. Got them at a ski swap. They had the previous owner's name engraved in them... which turned out to be by 2nd grade teacher.

Does Northland still exist? My first skis were wooden Northlands with bear trap cable bindings.

Yes - "Northland Skis – Since 1911. Back then our original motto was “Speed is Life”. Over 100 years later nothing has changed.

There was a young lady in our ski posse that had a pair of Hansons. Very jealous because they had heaters built into them. I had a pair of Lange ZR's at the time with all of the requisite issues.

Voit- still makes equipment for ball sports, I think

They shouldn't! my brother was given a voit football for his birthday when we were kids. Maybe 1968-69. I think it was the Izzy Lang autographed model. the ball was just shy of pro size and was the hardest rubber thing you ever caught with bare hands. At grammar school we had a voit tetherball would make people cry. Voit was awful. Seeing that name still makes me pause.

Nidecker. Used to make skis but eventually went all in on snowboards.

Are you sure it wasn't because you were using the balls in January?:-)
