Quadraxial Carbon Fibre

I was searching for quadraxial carbon fibre and came across these guys in california.
I think it looks like you can get a yard that is 50 inches wide for $40. So 2 yards should just about be enough for a pair of skis. The total weight is 17oz so probably going to be pretty stiff, but if you dropped off your core dimensions it could be OK. They also have other carbon products for sale too, like unidirectional tape (4 inches wide for $5 a yard in 6oz), or biax (12oz).
Anyway just been dreaming about making a full carbon layup and finding it hard to find a quadrax or triax carbon supplier downunder.
