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.

What is Alpine skiing?

Alpine skiing is a sport where you travel to a mountain that has snow and you use specialised hard boots, called ski boots, which attach to skis, long planks of wood, carbon or various other materials, by bindings. You slide down the snow covered hill on your skis. If you want to learn how to ski, I would highly recommend taking lessons. There is a whole technique to skiing properly and if you learn correctly, you are much less likely to hurt yourself or other people.
