I think spray paint would look dope as fuck, but to each their own. I can't think of any other material that'd look better...

Just remember to put tape over your edges.

Big sheet of vinyl to cover the entire ski then carve things out of it. You can then spray paint the designs in and remove the vinyl later (basically a stencil) or leave the vinyl as the graphic. I've always wanted to try that out so if you go for let me know how it goes.
