Ski California® has partnered with Praxis Skis, a local custom ski manufacturer, to create an exclusive custom ski for Gold Pass purchasers. Praxis has created custom artwork only available on Ski California® skis. To preview the design, and see how you can customize these skis (you can choose from any Praxis models to build your skis), please click HERE. When you buy your pass you will have a chance to add skis to your purchase (one pair per Gold Pass purchase permitted). These skis retail for $1,200, but we are selling them with your Gold Pass for only $600. Sales of these custom skis are very limited, so buy yours with your Gold Pass today!
