  • Patent number: 8984729
    Abstract: A ski or snowboard includes a metal layer having integral flanges projecting from its opposite sides to define a cavity for receiving a base layer. Several additional layers of laminated wood and in some versions synthetic polymer or carbon are pressed and bonded together on the metal layer. A method of manufacturing includes a support plate which holds a base layer and edge members received in a slot in the perimeter of the base layer. Additional layers of the ski or snowboard are successively laid on the base layer and pressed and bonded together.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7258360
    Abstract: Alpine ski (1) having a sidecut (9) which has a radius smaller than 24 meters, wherein the front (10) and/or rear (18) ends have a cavity (11, 15) opening longitudinally at said end, the dimensions of the cavity (11, 15) allowing the deformation of said end when a transverse force is exerted at the front and/or rear contact lines so as to permit the inner and outer edges of the ski to move closer to one another.
