Wipaire Inc. in Saint Paul, MN (http://www.wipaire.com) owns the STC. The price is $400, if I remember right, to license a particular pair of skis to a particular aircraft. Give them a call!

Remember...if your skis were installed legally previously (with the STC purchase) then most STC holders will re-issue new paperwork for a small fee instead of charging full price.

Wipaire is an exception -- their STCs are issued by equipment and aircraft serial number. If you want one with your aircraft's serial number on it, you have to pay them for it. They told me it pays for their bookkeeping, and they're pretty firm on their prices.
