I agree $850 is a bit much at least for my student budget, but I don't think Keith (main person behind Praxis) is being greedy, AFAIK he sold the first couple production runs at cost or lower, with his own labor cost not counted! So I don't really think $850 is that bad for a handmade ski. Those of us (like me) that don't have that amount of money to invest in skis can look into Praxis preseason sales where you can acquire a pair for a lot cheaper, he also sells skis with slight blems (topsheet damaged etc) for cheaper on the praxis website (www.praxisskis.com) every now and then.
