A board for gliding for downhill skiing, having, at least in its underfoot zone:

Board for gliding

A ski construction such as a ski, monoski, or snow board includes a principal base support () which has a sliding sole () that is raised to form a tip () at its front end. An upper surface of the ski defines a housing or pocket () with a central contracted region defined by lateral projections (). One of a family of elongated complementary elements () with hollow profiles () is frictionally received in the pocket. The complementary elements can have different lengths, thicknesses, stiffness, constructions, or material properties. By selecting among the family of complementary elements, a common principal support base can be configured to have a variety of skiing characteristics which complement the skiing abilities of a variety of skiers, skiing conditions, and the like.

Snow board

A raising platform () is intended for mounting on the upper surface () of a board () for gliding over snow in order to receive and to raise the bindings securing a user's boot to a board () for gliding over snow. The raising platform () is divided into two longitudinal parts () that are each placed directly on the upper surface () of the board () for gliding over snow and that are connected together by at least one bridge ().

Platform for raising the bindings for a boot, and board for gliding over snow equipped with such a platform

A board for gliding for downhill skiing, of &ldquo;shell&rdquo; type construction having, at lest in an underfoot zone a lower gliding surface composed of a sole plate bordered by metal edges and a topsheet substantially parallel to the lower gliding surface, on either side of the center longitudinal plane of the board. The underfoot zone further includes lateral faces extending between the metal edges and the topsheet, the lateral faces having recesses located below the plane of the topsheet and opening out in the latter. The base of the recess forms a slope that is inclined longitudinally relative to the lower gliding surface and the topsheet.

A raising platform for a binding for a board for gliding over snow, including a planar central zone capable of receiving the front stop and the heel piece of the binding, and two lateral portions of which the lower edge is intended for interacting with the board for gliding, wherein the lower edge of the lateral portions has, in a longitudinal plane, a certain gradient relative to the plane of the central zone.

Raising platform for a binding of a board for gliding, and board for gliding equipped with such a platform

Alpine ski comprising a front area known as the tip area ( ), a rear area known as the tail area ( ), and an intermediate area known as the mid-section ( ) designed to receive a stop ( ) and a heelpiece ( ) comprising the binding of the boot of a skier. In this ski, the rigidity, namely the resistance to flexing in the lengthwise direction of the ski, of the center part of the mid-section ( ) is less than the rigidity in the two end parts of the mid-section ( ), namely the parts that connect with the front ( ) and rear ( ) areas.
