ABSTRACT:
An adjustable flex alpine ski is disclosed. The ski includes tensile members embedded below the neutral plane in the center, shovel and tail sections of the ski. The tensile members are each fixed at one end and are independently adjustable by means of tension adjustment mechanisms located at the free ends of the members. The tension adjustment mechanisms are controlled by means of flexible shafts which terminate at hex nuts opening flushly onto the sidewalls of the ski, so as to be unobtrusive and aerodynamic, yet readily accessible in the field.
