(54)	Ski with a permanent identification label

(57) A ski with a permanent identification label according to the invention is characterized in that into one of glue layers 12 of the ski 1 an identification plate 2 with a magnetically readable identification label, e.g. with a magnetic bar code, is placed advantageously along the median line S of the layer 12; in a known way, the ski core 11 is surrounded by reinforcing layers 13, a cover 14 and a sliding cover 15, which are glued together by the glue layers 12.
The identification plate 2 is placed into one of the glue layers 12 already at the very beginning of the manufacture of the ski, i.e. when assembling layers 11, ... 15 of the ski 1. Thus the ski can be tracked during the whole process of its manufacture, which can thus be automatically controlled. At finishing the ski surface, the identification plate 2 cannot be mechanically damaged. The identification plate is hidden but it can be read out at any time by an appropriate reader.
