Abstract
A device for distributing the pressure of a ski, such as an alpine ski, over its gliding surface. The device includes at least one support element for supporting the sole of a boot, which is affixed to the ski by front and rear binding elements. A sensor element of the device is arranged for contact with the sole of the boot for capturing vertical forces of the boot during skiing. Front and rear flexion elements are positioned for transmitting respective flexion moments to the front and rear of the ski in response to the exertion of such vertical forces from the boot.
