Abstract: The process serves for producing a sheetlike article, for example a climbing skin (1) for skis, a slide-mat or a velour. Said sheetlike article has at least one glidable surface (4) produced from fibres (5). At least a portion of these fibres (7) is produced from a base material (6) and a glide material (7) uniformly dispersed in said base material (6). The base material (6) is preferably a thermoplastic material. The glide material (7) is admixed to this base material (6) in an extruder. The article produced by this process has gliding properties which are preserved in use.

Abstract: The fastening device comprises an upper part having an opening through which a strap, which is fastened on the ski skin, can be drawn. Said upper part is connected to a lower part, which is hook-shaped and produced from a spring-elastic material, especially spring steel. Said lower part can be pushed onto one end of a ski in order to releasably fasten the ski to said end of the ski.

Abstract: The fastening device has a retaining part (1, 1?) which is connected to one end of the ski skin (6) and can be pushed onto the tip (3) of the ski. The retaining part (1, 1?) has at least one opening (12, 13) through which a band (9) which is fastened on the ski skin (6) can be drawn. A cap (7, 7?), in which the retaining part (1, 1?) is integrated, is fastened on the tip (3) of the ski. The cap (7, 7?) has a central recess (16) on which the retaining part (1) is retained in a releasable manner. In order to release the ski skin (6), the retaining part (1, 1?) can be tilted forwards over the tip (3) of the ski.
