Abstract
A ski or other board for gliding over snow has two lateral, longitudinal edges constituted by rigid, distinct elements called “sidewalls”, which comprise a multitude of discrete metallic inclusions incorporated therein and distributed in their structure, made of corrosion-proof metal of shiny appearance. Such sidewalls are made of thermosettable or thermoplastic polymer materials.

- sprinkling said layer of said thermosettable resin with metallic particles,
- repeating these latter two operations a number of times in order to obtain a stack of coated sheets,
- compressing said stack and triggering polymerization of the resin, and
- cutting out said stack to predetermined dimensions of the sidewalls.
