You might not think carmakers and skimakers would have much in common.
But according to a news release e-mailed today there are plenty of examples of such synergy: Dynastar and Ferrari, Salomon and Saab, Zai and Bentley, Volant and Infiniti.
So I guess it shouldn't surprise us to see Audi jump into the fray.
Audi is working with Head to create a new carbon fiber ski. The ski is coated in carbon fiber and has a wood core and layers of aluminum and titanium.
The prototype 170cm skis weigh 1,550 grams (about 3.4 pounds) -- about 200 grams (0.4 pounds) lighter than comparable model.
