Abstract: Ski, in particular downhill ski, comprising a binding mounting plate provided above the ski body and fixed thereto at least in part at a distance therefrom, wherein at least one guide means 5, 7, 8, 10 is provided which guides the binding mounting plate 2 in a plane normal to the surface of the ski body 1 and parallel to the longitudinal ski axis, and prevents twisting of the plate 2 or of regions thereof about an axis parallel to the longitudinal ski axis.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing a ski, particularly a laminated ski, which is composed of a plurality of components, and a ski manufactured by that process. In the process, the components of the ski are placed into a mold, which is adapted to be evacuated, and the mold is subsequently evacuated. A liquid binder, such as a liquid resin, is supplied to the mold during or after its evacuation. Air is sucked from the mold at one end of the longitudinal extent of the ski. The liquid binder is supplied to the mold at the other end of the longitudinal extent of the ski. In the finished ski a strip of solidified binder extends in at least one vertical or horizontal longitudinal plane of the ski, preferably in a central longitudinal plane of the ski, over at least part of the length and preferably over at least one half of the length of the ski.
