Abstract

The damping or reinforcement appliance (10,12,14) operates in conjunction with a parameter-dependent control (40). This controls the compressive forces especially between the ski boot and ski, preferably in the ball part of the ski boot. Parts (18,20) fixed to the ski transmit tensile or shearing forces in the longitudinal direction of the ski and are joined by a coupling. The control alters the forces transmitted by the coupling and or alters energy dissipations occurring in the coupling and or plugs in or out the coupling or parts of it.
