Wood and fiberglass are the most common for the core but you can also have carbon fiber, the edges are made of metal, modern day skis are carbon steel but older skis can have chrome type, such as those used in cutlery. Thetopsheet, graphics and bases are made out of various kinds of plastics.

Alpine snow skis are typically made of a combination of materials such as wood, fiberglass, metal, and plastic. The core of the ski is usually made of wood for stability and responsiveness, while layers of fiberglass and metal provide strength and durability. The top layer is often a plastic or composite material for protection and aesthetics.
