Jesus! I wonder who makes them? Maybe binding afficionados can work out who supplied them and that might clue us in? As an aside, people do buy this stuff. I was once in Hermes whilst my wife looked at purses I wasn't going to buy for her and a man came in and bought a £40,000 sofa and a £9000 stool as casually as I would buy Aldi brand sliced bread!

I don’t know if they are beautiful but I bet the packaging is
“ Your purchases are delivered in an orange box tied with a Bolduc ribbon, with the exception of fragrances, makeup and beauty products, books, certain equestrian and bulky items.
During checkout, you can include a card with a personalized message and a priceless invoice.”

I defy anyone to open the 'Product Details' drop down and not be seriously impressed!

They have “Made in the French Alps” printed in the middle, and that appears to be a Look binding, so I'd guess they've come from Rossignol Group, and are therefore probably a Dynastar women's piste ski. Could be the Elite 9.

They're 67.7 inches long, which means nothing to me or probably anyone else who buys proper skis, except that there's normally more than one length available!

My favourite bit is: "Shovel: slightly raised to avoid sinking into the snow,"
Mind. Blown. I think soon every manufacturer is going to be doing that!

No way, that's the same waist that my skis have!

@SnoodyMcFlude, Then you should consider yourself damn lucky to have such an innovation ahead of the plebs! Once everyone gets a waist, the game is over!

Last January I had booked Stockli skis at a rental shop but they ran out and gave me a pair of Lacroix skis instead. By God they were beautiful looking, but I hated them as I felt like a complete w&nker and thought everyone was looking at me on every lift. They skiid well, though.

Skiing is a sport/pastime that has an incredibly disproportionate number of extremely attractive and personable ladies involved in it at every level. I've often wondered why that is. Maybe there's a reason, or maybe I just notice them more. But even amongst the throngs of loveliness, some stand out:

I apologise to the OP if, in a rare  moment of weakness and misjudgement, I’ve steered into politically incorrect waters. That’s covered that base.
Yeah, you’re right @greengriff.

I'd argue that Jones Snowboards owes at least half of the success of the Mountain Twin to the RP Roberts graphics.

What about these? Made by a guy in Vernon, BC. They are Skevik Antons. I'm a birder so I had to have 'em. I don't love how they ski, to be honest.

Any early ski in wood with cable bindings mounted on a lounge wall over a fire place or wood burner.

But we are supposed to be talking about beautiful skis, not beautiful skiers! That would be a thread all of its own.
