ABSTRACT:
A pair of short skiis each comprising a flexible forward shovel section and a less flexible after section, the flexible shovel section including a substantially flat running portion and a leading turned up tip portion, the total running length of the ski being comprised of the running portion and the less flexible section. The boot location area on each ski is so disposed with reference to the total running length of the ski that the ball of the skier's foot is disposed at or slightly behind the approximate median of the ski's total running length. The flexible shovel section extends from just forward of said median. Binding means are provided to hold the skier's foot on each ski such that when the skier's boot is placed and held in said binding means, the heel of the skier's boot will be disposed approximately 6 inches forward of the tail end of the ski. These short skiis are intended for use by a skier employing the skiing technique wherein turning of the skiis is accomplished with the skier's weight at all times disposed no farther forward than the median of the running length and checking of the skiis may be accomplished by the skier's shifting most of his weight back from the balls of his feet to the heels thereof.
