Abstract
In an alpine ski there is provided a simplified laminated construction by providing a glass fiber reinforced beam laminated on the tensile facing to a single laminate layer of stiffening material and a bottom running surface. Grooves are machined into the central glass fiber reinforced beam to adjustably control both the ski's weight and stiffness and a continuous metallic sidewall is provided between the bottom edges and the top edges. A decorative cap that conforms to the contour of the top surface of the glass fiber beam is laminated to the beam.
