- a shovel-shaped element independent of the body and having a rear part formed with an indentation complementary to the transverse leading edge of the front end and an opposite tip, the element being continuous and primarily unitarily formed from the indentation to the tip of a material that is more supple and flexible than that of the body;
- and
- means fixing the element at the indentation to the leading edge of the front end against movement relative thereto, said element extending forward and upward from said indentation as an arcuate continuation of the front end of the body, the rear part being flush with the longitudinal edges of the body at the indentation where the element is secured to the front end of the ski body.
