I've seen presses on sale a few times on various websites, but you'll be a lot of money ahead to build one. Check out skibuilders.com and Iggyskier's threads on NS and TGR. Check out snoCAD-X too. There is tons of info out there.
My old roommate built a pneumatic press for about $1500, which pays itself off really quickly.

Awesome site - saw it while back.
I'm not planning on making skis anytime soon, but if I did, I'd build my own press. Making skis is as much an art as a technology, so it makes sense that starting from the ground up would give you better insight into the whole process. Just my 2c.

Build your own. It'll come out a hell of a lot cheaper than buying one if you know how to weld and where to get materials
