ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a ski equipped with a beam and a device intended to modify the stiffness and/or shock absorption of vibrations. The ski includes (1) at least one elongated element oriented longitudinally with respect to the ski, connected to the ski by a rigid linkage and which includes at least one free end, suited to be displaced longitudinally with respect to the ski when the ski is biased in flexion, and spaced longitudinally from the rigid linkage, and (2) a resistance device connected to the ski that cooperates with the free end in order to resist its displacement, the resistance force of the resistance device that resists the displacement of the free end decreasing between a minimum displacement position and a maximum displacement position. Such a ski maintains its stable qualities in a horizontal position and improves its pivoting and steering characteristics during tight turns.
