Well, I've always said that my main complaint with skis is the fact that they have to be used in snow... now I don't have to worry about that pesky white shit sticking to the top!
We use topsheet material that isn't perfectly smooth, i.e. bumpy and / or string - woodgrainy looking material. Seems to keep the snow off a lot more than the super smooth topsheet that most companies use. Also, scratches aren't nearly as noticeable as they are on smooth topsheets.
