Abstract

In a ski that has integrated elements for the attachment for components of the binding system, the ski is bonded rigidly to an essentially plate-shaped carrier body that extends in the longitudinal direction of the ski, in an area that lies between the ends that face in the longitudinal direction of the ski. Outside the area that is bonded rigidly to the ski, the carrier body incorporates guide rails or grooves that extend in the longitudinal direction of the ski and are used for the attachment of the components of the bindig system, and the ends of the carrier body that face in the longitudinal direction of the ski are arranged at a distance from the upper side of the upper chord of the ski. It is preferred that outside the area that is bonded rigidly to the ski the carrier body is bonded rigidly to the ski or to the upper chord of the ski through interposed damping material.
