The disclosed technology allows for easier turning and a lighter ski by providing cut-out portions, cut into the side of a ski at one or both tips. These cut-out portions jut inward from the side creating a jagged, keyed, or honeycomb configuration with at least one slit, slot, triangle, or regular polygon, cut into the side of the ski, such as in a mirror image on each side of a tip, and/or correspondingly on each tip. In deep powder snow, the powder may rise through the cut-outs, allowing for less friction (smaller surface area) and path for the snow to flow, allowing the ski to turn more easily. In addition, the cut out portions reduce the weight of the ski relative to a conventional ski, and may provide a more aerodynamic design. |
