The apparatus includes a front support element positioned on either side of the longitudinally extending rib proximate an area of the ski at which a front binding is to be located, and a rear support element longitudinally spaced from the front support element and located on either side of the longitudinally extending rib proximate an area of the ski at which the heel of a shoe or boot is to be located during the course of skiing. The materials from which the front and rear support elements are made and their respective mechanical response characteristics are selected with respect to the ability level of the skier and with respect to the type of skiing that is to be performed.
