During the first stage, the elements of the ski structure are assembled according to an essentially rectilinear beam, including at least one thermofusible film in at least one gripping zone near either the front or back end of the structure. During the recovery stage after the first stage, this gripping zone is heated to a temperature slightly higher than the softening temperature of the thermofusible film and the heated gripping zone can be shaped in the form of a spatula and/or of the heel.
