I shipped skis alone via UPS and it was like $25.  With bindings, its definitely more.

call the sports shops around you and see if one of them will ship the skis for you. Shops generally have a deal worked out with UPS/FEDEX where it is fairly inexpensive for them to ship that stuff since it goes out with their shipments anyway. Only thing is that you wont have a tracking number or insurance on it.
