ABSTRACT:
A ballet ski is provided for achieving enhanced stability when a skier is stationary or moving slowly. The bottom surface of the ski has a planar elliptical portion centrally under the foot of the skier. Remaining portions of the bottom surface are convex from front to rear and convex from side to side. Thus, a skier can easily roll from the planar ellipse and into the curved portion to carry out selected ballet maneuvers. Preferably, the ski is formed from separate top and bottom components configured to form air pockets that reduce the weight of the ski. The ski may also include chamfers near the rear binding to enable a brake to rotate into the snow. Additionally, hook receiving apertures may be formed through the rear end of the ski. A pair of the skis may then be used with straps having hooks engageable in the apertures for conveniently suspending the skis in a carrying position.
