Abstract
A ski includes a running sole with a structural body comprising at least one upper reinforcement layer covered with an upper protective surface. In the region of the support face, an attached structure is fastened onto said upper surface at least in the rear part, that is, the zone intended to accommodate the heel binding which, in cooperation with a front toe stop, binds the boot of the skier. The heel binding is made from a sheet or plate of a viscoelastic material. The screws for fastening the anterior zone of the attached structure pass through the latter before being anchored in the upper reinforcement layer of the structural body. The screws for fastening the heel binding are anchored in the attached structure, above the sheet or plate of viscoelastic material. The attached structure is fastened in the posterior zone onto the structural body of the ski by means of the sheet or plate made of viscoelastic material.
