[quote castnshoot]Looks good,, but you need 4 pieces of freeze block,, one wedged into each inside corner where the 2X4s meet the base riser. If not,, side to side wobble is going to destroy that connection.[/quote]
This, it has no lateral stability to keep the tall blocks vertical when under the stress of movement or uneven ground. As you increase the load the problem will more likely occur.
Either a triangular gusset on the inside corners or rectangular blocks. Run the screws into the blocks from both the top and the sides to add stability. Another method would be angular metal cross members running from the blocks across and up to the cross members.
The skis will do better because of the internal construction and likelihood that there is a layer of metal sandwiched in them.
