Italian ski maker Foil has just released a pair of handcrafted skis, theย Oro Nero Classico, with a ridiculous $60,000 price tag.

Foil is an Italian ski maker that specializes in rare, unusual, and often precious materials, think rosewood and purpleheart top sheets, bamboo sidewalls, and metal-plated bindings. Its aim is โ€œto create a ski of World Cup performance, in perfect balance with the body, in harmony with nature, and one that aesthetically celebrates the timeless beauty of skiingโ€ reports outsideonline.com.

Prices for its planks range from $20,000 to $60,000. The most expensive in the lineup, the limited-edition Oro Nero, features a top sheet of 8,000-year-old certified bog oak and bindings plated in 14-karat gold. The skis also come with gold-plated poles and a custom leather ski bag.

The companyโ€™s head designer is a former Austrian World Cup ski racer, so maybe itโ€™s not just a fashion statement, but for the price of a luxury car, they’re going to have to give some serious performanceย improvements!
