Abstract

This invention relates to a process for manufacturing a ski, or like board for gliding over snow, which comprises, on the surface, embedded elements constituted by elements of additional protecting and decorative layers, these elements being flush with the surface of the ski.According to the invention, the protecting and decorative sheet is laid flat, before being placed in the mould, and the thin elements to be embedded are added thereon by bonding. The assembly of the ski elements is then moulded conventionally, with the result that the inner, uniformly smooth surface of the lid of the mould presses on the additional elements and consequently embeds them in the protecting and decorative sheet.
