The ski structure has a front ski and a rear ski, vibration dampers and a mechanism for converting a lateral pressure into a rotary motion, associated with one of the skis. The front and rear skis can be temporarily mutually loosely interconnected by at least one tab and can be rigidly interconnected by a removable mechanical bridge. Thus, the rear ski follows the direction assumed by the front ski, and the ski structure can be disassembled for easy transport.

Ski structure

The ski structure comprises two ski elements for resting and sliding on snow, placed the one ahead of the other and each having a slightly upturned end, on which there are made rigid supports with which lever devices are associated which are connected together to a flat plate. The lever devices are provided with shock absorbers adapted to dampen the vibrations and the stresses imposed on the two ski elements while holding the plate parallel to the axis led through the two supports. Upwardly of the plate there are provided adjustable elements for securing to it an item of footwear, while with at least one of the supports there is associated a device adapted to convert to rotary motion a side pressure exerted thereon.
