Abstract
A ski construction such as a ski, monoski, or snow board includes a principal base support () which has a sliding sole () that is raised to form a tip () at its front end. An upper surface of the ski defines a housing or pocket () with a central contracted region defined by lateral projections (). One of a family of elongated complementary elements () with hollow profiles () is frictionally received in the pocket. The complementary elements can have different lengths, thicknesses, stiffness, constructions, or material properties. By selecting among the family of complementary elements, a common principal support base can be configured to have a variety of skiing characteristics which complement the skiing abilities of a variety of skiers, skiing conditions, and the like.
