A ski includes a longitudinally extending body defining a longitudinal median plane and having a sole substantially perpendicular to said plane and adapted to slidably engage a surface, the sole having a central zone lying between front and rear contact zones. The body has opposite side exterior surfaces and comprises a core which extends substantially the entire length of the body, and a plurality of elements operatively associated with the core, the elements including mechanical reinforcing elements, viscoeleastic shock absorption elements, and filling elements connecting the reinforcing elements to the other elements. The shock absorption elements are continuous and extend substantially over the entire length of the body of the ski. The shock absorption elements are constructed and arranged so that the mechanical shock absorption property of the ski at a given location along the length of the ski is a function of the given location.
