Abstract

A ski with a core and at least one upper and one lower surface layer. Grooves for receiving parts of a ski binding are recessed in the upper side of the core. The receiving parts each consist of a fixed holding part and an elastic sleeve surrounding the holding part. A spacer element rests on the receiving part, which spacer element is used as support for the base plate of a ski binding. In order to facilitate the mounting of the ski binding, each holding part has at least one upwardly bent section, with the upwardly bent section extending in the installed state of the receiving part at least to the underside of the upper surface layer of the ski.
