Lacroix Ultime Diamond and Gold Skis

Now here is some “bling bling” for those who want to show off on the slopes. The Lacroix Ultime skis are a collaboration between French ski makers and Parisian jeweler Phillipe Tournaire. Each Lacroix ski features a white gold inscription and is encrusted with four differently shaped diamonds in Philippe Tournaire’s eclectic style. The core of the ski is made of wood, while the edges are titanium. Wanna buy a pair of Lacroix skis? You can find them in Philippe Tournaire store on the Place Vendôme in Paris.

Well, we have also seen these kinds of “special skis” in the past. Remember the skis made of stone? How about Hublot All Black skis? Although I prefer skis like Praxis Powder Boards, it would be interesting to test skis like the Lacroix Ultimate. Anyhow, as an experienced skier I wouldn’t really waste my money on Lacroix skis or anything similar, so it’s really interesting that some people actually DO buy these sticks. Maybe it’s just the fact that I don’t have money to burn and I’m just skiing on budget. How about you? Would you buy these?.

I am an old-school alpine skier, snowboarder and telemarker, and I love writing. Therefore I founded Homeboy. I (too) enjoy powder, mountaineering and backcountry skiing as well as photographing. Nowadays, as an old fart, I mostly ski with my kids and focus on financing their hobbies.
