Aston Martin Skis

Aston Martin takes to the slopes this winter – not in a specially adapted sports car, but on a brand new, hi-tech ski.

Further to last winter’s special-edition ‘DBS Prague’ skis, handmade by Austrian ski specialist Differences, Aston Martin has now developed a core range of skis, produced using four of our latest Aston Martin colours:

Morning Frost White, Quantum Silver, Almond Green, Silver Blonde

I love the fact that you can order them in four AM colours to match your car but as there is no Meteorite option then I guess I will need to change my car to MFW or QS in order to match - I wonder how much these are - probably in the 'more money than sense' category I expect.

Do they have a ski rack option so that you can match the skis to the car?

Always trash other people's skis and never buy your own!

I'd buy a Chiltern green snowboard if they made one

I always buy my own skis these days - they pay for themselves in three seasons at most. My current ones, bought last year have already done so, despite having cost as much as a couple of ECUs.

Is there a corrosion warranty and does it cover delamination.

I think I'll just put an Aston sticker on my Salomon's. I'll know exactly what I've got.

I didn't say I don't have to get them repaired from time to time!

They're £1000 plus bindings........wrong price. Volkl used to make Porsche branded skis, not sure if they still do.

That is expensive. I paid about £800 for my skis with bindings and that is expensive already (Kastle MX88 with Marker Griffon bindings).

1000 GBP might be a fair price for a top notch race or freeride ski (e.g. high end Völkl) including binding…

Though compared to the Ferrari ski, which is 2.500 EUR and looks awful, the AM ski is almost a bargain….
