Abstract
A ski includes an elongate core and a fiber reinforced composite layer disposed over the elongate core. The fiber reinforced composite layer has a first plurality of fibers fixed in a resin and a second plurality of fibers fixed in the resin. The first plurality of fibers extend along a first arcuate path from a left side of the ski to a right side of the ski such that the angle of the first fibers with respect to the centerline increases from the left side to the right side. The second plurality of fibers extend along a second arcuate path from the right side of the ski to the left side of the ski such that the angle of the second fibers with respect to the centerline increases from the right side to the left side. In some embodiments the first and second plurality of fibers are symmetrically positioned in the composite layer.
