Abstract

The invention relates to a ski of the type for so-called "hot dogging", or fancy skiing on snow and comprises a relatively short ski, preferably made from a suitable plastic material such as a polycarbonate like Lexan and in a clear color. An important element of this ski is the utilization of a boot plate integral with the runner, with a toe piece adjustably mounted with the plate and a manually releasable heel clamp mounted adjacent the rear of the plate having multiple adjustments for proper fitting to a particular ski boot size.
