Abstract
A ski in the form of an elongate beam extending in a longitudinal direction and having a sole, an upper surface and lateral edges. In a central part, the ski is overhung by a raised rigid platform, the platform having, in an upper part, mounting zones provided for the boot retaining elements. The platform of the ski has a front plate and a rear plate which have, in their lower part, lateral side edges with support surfaces. Further, beneath the level of the upper surface of the ski, the ski has bottom surfaces located opposite the support surfaces, and the support surfaces and the bottom surfaces are predetermined such that when the ski is at rest, the platform bears on the ski in the area of the median part of the platform. Further, the distance between each support surface and its bottom surface progressively increases in the direction of the ends of the plates, such that the surfaces progressively enter into contact with one another as the ski bends.
