Patent ID: 7134680

Claim:
Alpine ski comprising an elongate ski body forming a running surface, a mounting for fastening a binding arranged on an upper face of the ski body and rigidly connected therewith, at least one upper cord element attached to the ski body extending in the longitudinal direction of the ski body and receiving pressure forces, the at least one upper cord element having ends thereof supported on the ski body, the at least one upper cord element being movably mounted relative to the ski body between ends of the ski body and constructed such that under the impact of pressure forces the at least one upper cord element endeavours to deform elastically by flexural buckling and to carry out a deflection movement relative to the ski body, and at least one support element provided on the mounting which counteracts the deflection movement of the at least one upper cord element by exerting a counter force thereon, the at least one support element being spaced from the at least one upper cord element along an entire length thereof in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the ski body.
