If you are on the hunt for new skis to show off this upcoming winter and have endlessly deep pockets and money to blow, consider yourself in luck. Feel like turning heads with your Bentley or Balenciaga bases? Or flying past everyone on your Porsches while arching beautiful turns down the mountain? All of these skis will definitely cost you an arm and a leg (and a couple of organs to the black market) thanks to their uniqueness and several other factors that are mostly beyond me. But if you want to ski good, you have to look good, right? Here is a list of the most expensive skis available to purchase or pre-order right now.

#7 Porsche x Head 7 Series Racing Skis

For a whopping $2,425.00*, you can try to back your claims of ‘fastest on the mountain’ with the help of these 70mm underfoot racing skis. They are available in 156, 163, and 177cm lengths, all sporting a combination of red, blue, gold, and white. Plus, the tips and tails of the top sheet have Porsche written proudly. Also, at the same price, there is the similarly designed 8 Series Rally Skis with a wider 88mm underfoot.

#6 Bomber x Bentley Black Diamond Edition

Coming in at $2,750.00*, the Bomber for Bentley Black Diamond Editions skis are sure to get some double-takes at the resort. This ski is a limited edition collector’s item that measures 88mm underfoot and is available in a 161 or 171cm length. Show off the bold ‘Bentley’ written dead-smack in the middle of the bases and the logo on the tips of the top sheets. Only 200 total pairs of these skis were produced.

*including Marker Squire TCX or Marker Griffon 13 D bindings

#5 Bogner The 90-Year Anniversary Skis

These beautiful bamboo and red, old-school-looking Bogner skis will set you back $3,900.90*. Combining traditional craftsmanship and a vintage look with updated modern technology, you can definitely expect to start a few conversations with these. Given that they were produced in a strictly limited run, you will very likely never encounter another pair. Willy Bogner is a retired German ski racer who later moved into filmmaking and ski fashion.

*including Glide Control Premium Bindings, Black Carbon Ski Poles with Retro-Inspired Grip & an Exclusive Ski Bag

#4 Faction x Prada Linea Rossa Prodigy 1.0

You can jump and spin through the park or carve groomers on these twin-tip, 88mm underfoot Faction x Prada collaboration skis for $4,500.00*. This all-mountain ski is available in a 164, 171, or 178cm length. Also, these limited edition skis come with a serial number engraved on the surface. Both Prada and Faction are displayed on the base of the ski, so getting them in the air to show off is a requirement.

#3 Balenciaga Skiwear Skis

These silver and black Balenciaga skis will run you a cool $6,290.00* — and don’t expect anything else along with it, not even bindings. At 69mm underfoot, these are meant to stay strictly on-piste, in lift lines, and directly next to you at the slope-side bar. The limited edition skis made in Italy come in either a 167 or 174cm length, and the website claims it to be an “all-mountain” ski.

#2 ZEGNA Black Zai

If discreet and luxurious is your forte, for $7,540.00*, you will hardly stand out in a crowd with these Zegna Black Zai skis. The ski comes in a 165 and 171cm length with a 67mm waist width. Both models feature cutting-edge sandwich technology with natural rubber, ash/poplar, and titanal. The graphic is basic, with ZEGNA on the top sheet and blank black bases.

*including logo-embroidered carry bag and strap with Velcro fastening, PRD 12 GW bindings with PowerRail and Anti Friction Slider, and a pair of telescopic carbon ski poles

Taking first place for the most expensive skis available to purchase, Zai Saint Laurent skis for an absolutely outrageous $12,500.00*. The 164cm skis are made of rubber, ash, and poplar wood as well as titanal. Also sporting an all-black-on-black look, the skis have Saint Laurent written on the bases.
