AN IMPROVED ALPINE SKI WITH A SIMPLIFIED CONSTRUCTION

摘要

In an alpine ski (10) there is provided a simplified laminated construction by providing a glass fiber reinforced beam (28) laminated on the tensile facing to a single laminate layer (31) of stiffening material and a bottom running surface (22). Grooves (11, 15) are machined into the central glass fiber reinforced beam to adjustably control both the ski's weight and stiffness and a continuous metallic sidewall (36) is provided between the bottom edges and the top edges. A decorative cap (26) that conforms to the contour of the top surface of the glass fiber beam is laminated to the beam.
