Hit the Slopes in Style with Audi Carbon Ski
If you're looking to add some style to your winter-time outdoor activities, you may want to take a look at these cool skis from Audi. Initially designed and developed as a concept study at the Audi Concept Design Munich, the Carbon Ski is now heading for production with the Ingolstadt-based automaker estimating that it could be available for sale as early as this year. As its name implies, the Audi Carbon Ski is made out of carbon fiber for reduced weight as well as optimal stiffness.

According to Audi, the ski weighs 200 grams less than comparable models.
