Darren has teamed up with some other members of the British Racing Driver’s Club to take part in this year’s London Marathon on Sunday 25 April.

Aston Martin ski's

Aston Martin ski's in Morning Frost White

In the light of our fabulous event with Aston Martin in St.Moritz next month, we thought it would be a nice addition to your excess baggage to show the delightful new ski’s available by Aston Martin. They have launched the range of skis in four very ‘Aston’ colours: Morning Frost White, Quantum Silver, Almond Green and Silver Blonde. They follow on from last winter’s special-edition ‘Lightning Silver’ skis, handmade by Austrian ski specialist Differences.

The skis, available in four sizes (180cm, 173cm, 166cm and 159cm), are intended to provide precise control in both slalom and freestyle skiing. While the race-derived materials make them perfect for all downhill descents, the construction is equally well-suited to more casual skiers. As with the latest Aston Martin sportscars, they boast high-tech materials such as composites, aluminium and carbon. The ski’s can be ordered with or without bindings.

If the off-the-shelf colours are just too common for you, thyen you could opt for the full bespoke service which allows you to specify the colour of your new skis from any of the standard Aston Martin exterior paint colours.

Find more information at www.astonmartin.com. For availability and ordering information please contact Aston Martin on +44 (0)1908 305530.
