World's Most Expensive Ski Package

Posted December 21, 2012 @ 10:01am | by George Michaelsen

If you sleep in a Hastens Bed, drive a Bugati or take a Helicopter to work you might want to take your private jet to Courchevel France and check these carbon fiber skis out at Lacroix's boutique store.  Lacroix partnered up with with Pinel & Pinel a luxury trunk and custom cabinet maker out of Paris to create this complete luxury ski set.  

The beautiful trunk crafted by Pinel & Pinel was designed to not only to look great, carry and display your matching goggles and poles elegantly.  But also to give your chauffeur a break by being equipped with wheels to make it more mobile from Jet to Escalade to Mountain Chalet.

Lacroix Ski and Binding Set UpSo what do you get for 67,000 bucks?  Well the skis only come in 2 lengths 163cm and 170cm if you're into longer skis, or modern wider waisted skis, I guess you're not buying a pair of these..  These 70mm or so waisted skis are made of Titanium Kevlar Carbon (Go ahead try and say that 3 times fast) and a Smart Track Binding.  Smart Track is the same binding system Atomic and Salomon use on their all-mountain skis which don't cost even 1000 bucks.  So in answer to the question what do you get?  A nice looking trunk and a conversation piece.  Most people haven't even heard of Lacroix so I'm guessing you're not going to spectators like a guy that owns a Ferrari.

Haven't skied on these bad boys, I'm sure they're nice and snappy and fun on the front side, but I'm willing to bet the Volkl RTM V-Werks or RTM 84 is a more fun option.  But Hey, maybe you really just like that phrase 'You get what you pay for'.
