Snow ski with integral binding isolation mounting plate

摘要

A snow ski has a main body with a recess located in the central portion of the top surface of the ski. The recess is adapted to receive a complementary shaped ski binding mounting plate which is bonded to an intermediate layer of viscoelastic material, which is, in turn, bonded to the main body of the ski. The ski binding mounting plate has a thickness such that the fasteners used to hold the ski binding thereon do not extend through the mounting plate into the body of the ski. The body of the ski may also include reinforcing material in the central portion of the ski containing the recess.
