Abstract
Abstract A ski of the kind in which a single ski body member formed with a gliding surface is provided with two ski bindings fixed to said body member in side by side arrangement. This ski can also be called monoski since the person using the ski stands on a single gliding surface. The two ski bindings comprise each a toe portion and a heel portion. The toe and heel portions are each mounted on a distinct support, and the two supports for each ski binding are fixed one behind the other in longitudinally spaced relation on the ski body member provided with the gliding surface.
