Process for decorating the top portion of the ski

Process for decorating the top portion of a ski, said process comprising the steps of:

• assembling and affixing an external, thick layer of a transparent plastic material, onto an opaque internal layer, wherein, prior to the assembly step, the process comprises the steps of transferring a first decoration onto an external surface of the external layer, and transferring a second internal decoration, different from the first, onto one of the surfaces connecting the internal layer with the external layer, wherein the second decoration is applied on the surface of the internal opaque layer intended to come in contact with the internal surface of the transparent layer during the assembly and affixing step,
• a paper support bearing the sublimable inks is placed on one of the surfaces of the external transparent layer,
• a solid film of thermofusible glue having good properties of adhesion with the internal and external layer, is placed onto the other surface of said layer,
• simultaneous heat transfer of inks and adhesion of adhering film onto the external transparent layer is performed,
• the external transparent layer is assembled onto the internal opaque layer by applying the adhering film surface onto the decorated surface of the internal opaque layer and then heated to obtain adhesion.

A process of decorating an upper portion of a ski, said upper portion of the ski including an internal layer and a transparent external layer, said internal layer having an external surface and said external layer having an internal surface and an external surface, said process comprising:

• transferring a first decoration onto said external surface of said transparent external layer;
• transferring a second decoration onto said external surface of said internal layer;
• and
• affixing said transparent external layer to said internal layer.
