...Lubin, France www.boheme.fr - until now something of a connoisseur's secret - is taking its handsome, handcrafted skis global. Each pair (around $2,000) requires an average of 37 hours to construct: space-age materials are sandwiched to a beech and poplar core, then finished with a thin layer of one of 11 different wooden claddings, including walnut, ebony and rosewood. Thick edges help these beauties carve a precise track down any mountainside...
