Abstract
A ski, such as an alpine ski, a cross-country ski, a jumping ski, a monoski or a snowboard, e.g., having attached thereto an element, such as a slide plate of a safety binding, with a layer of thermofusible material. The attachment of the element to the ski, such as the attachment of the binding plate to the upper surface of the ski, is accomplished, e.g., by vibrational welding, to provide a secure connection between the slide plate, e.g., and the ski, and to provide a connection that enables a superior flexion characteristic of the ski in the area of the slide plate, without the use of screws that penetrate the structure of the ski.
