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 very interesting to test skis like the Lacroix Ultimate. I guess I would not receive a pair if I asked…
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 a little bit jealous.. No, actually it’s not like that. You wouldn’t enjoy skiing the slopes and backcountry with Lacroix diamond skis as much as you would with e.g. Armada skis, I guess. I can’t be sure until I have tested the Lacroix skis, so this is just my assumption.
Do YOU have any experience with the Lacroix Ultimate skis? Please share your story with us!
