This idea has LOL written all over it.
Chinese made skis at full retail price? Good luck. You're competing with the majors, and they're going to eat your lunch. Plus I doubt these guys have ever sourced in China. I do it daily, and it's a HUGE pain in the ass.
Custom skis made in China at custom price? People aren't dumb. They won't buy them. Have fun selling them to friends and family though.
I know a few guys making custom skis locally, and it's a tough gig. They sell at a high price to a niche market, and supplement custom skis to Heli operations at a low price to pick up capacity shortfalls. They are not making a ton of money. If I were these guys I would approach them to see if they can manufacture at a decent price, and try to buy up their excess capacity.
Chances are this guy breaks even (if he's lucky) and his poorly thought out project disappears in 2 years.
