Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0473898A1] A transverse slot (5), passing through the ski, is provided in the central part (1) of the ski, in the area in which the boot (4) is held, the area of the heel (T) serving as a support for the foot during the sliding phase, and the metatarso-phalangeal area serving as an impulsion support (Pi) during the impulsion phase of the ski. The slot (5) defines, in the thickness of the ski, two flexing beam parts, an upper one (6) and a lower one (7), respectively. This arrangement permits, during the phase of impulsion (Pi), satisfactory flattening on the ground of the lower beam part (7) and thus of the running sole part of the ski comprising the wax chamber (8). The impulsion efficiency thereof is thus markedly increased without affecting the sliding phase. <IMAGE>
