Abstract

A ski having a sandwich-like construction including rods and slit stops for changing a radial geometry of the ski. When the ski flexes, the rods and the ski change their respective radii differentially, causing changes in the slit stops. In turn, the slit stops spread or constrict to change maneuvering characteristics of the ski.
