Abstract
Alpine ski comprising a front area known as the tip area (2), a rear area known as the tail area (4), and an intermediate area known as the mid-section (3) designed to receive a stop (12) and a heelpiece (13) comprising the binding of the boot of a skier. In this ski, the rigidity, namely the resistance to flexing in the lengthwise direction of the ski, of the center part of the mid-section (3) is less than the rigidity in the two end parts of the mid-section (3), namely the parts that connect with the front (2) and rear (4) areas.
Claims3
Alpine ski comprising a front tip area, a rear tail area, a top portion and a bottom portion connected by sides, an intermediate area providing a mid-section designed to receive a stop and a heelpiece comprising a binding of a boot of a skier, and a discontinuous lengthwise reinforcing element localized to the front tip area and the rear tail area, characterized in that rigidity in the lengthwise direction of the ski of a center part of the mid-section is less than rigidity in the front and rear areas of the mid-section, wherein the reduced rigidity in the mid-section of the ski is achieved by locally interrupting the reinforcing element in the mid-section of the ski.
