Probably 100 usd worth of veneer on the skis.
Old bog wood veneer as you can clearly see here.

I remember having these as rentals at Les Deux Alpes Glacier in summer of 2007. I scraped the edges against concrete because I had seen it in ski movies. I didn’t even know how to hit a rail on skis then.
