A wooden ski with a pointed and up-curved tip, and a square tail. There is a central groove on the underside of the ski which runs from the tail to just in front of the bindings. The upper surface of the ski has a ridge running along its length. The foot plate is missing, but there are nails where it would have been fixed in place. The binding consists of a leather toe strap slotted through the ski, and fastened with a leather thong.
