A pair of plates each having an internally threaded boss in its base and upturned flanges along its sides are fixed to the upper surface of adjacent segments of a segmented ski. A pair of lips formed on a rigid slide bracket loosely engage axially aligned lips formed on the flanges. A resilient shim is interposed between the lips on the slide bracket and those on the flanges. A pair of screws carried by the slide bracket and registering with the threaded bosses secure the slide bracket to the plates, thereby rigidly joining the ski segments.

A segmented ski having at least two segments, comprising: a fore segment and a rear segment adapted for end-to-end abutment; a first attachment member secured to the top of the fore segment at the rear end thereof, said first attachment member including a bottom plate having an internally threaded boss thereon and a pair of side flanges extending upwardly of said plate and terminating in a pair of first lips lying in a plane substantially parallel to the top of said ski; a second attachment member secured to the top of the rear segment at the fore end thereof, said second attachment member including a bottom plate having an internally threaded boss thereon and a pair of side flanges extending upwardly of said plate and terminating in a pair of second lips lying in the plane containing said first lips and in longitudinal alignment with said first lips; a bracket releasably connecting said attachment members, said bracket including a rigid body having a pair of third lips formed along the sides thereof and spaced from said first and second lips; a shim member mounted to said bracket, the edges of said shim member being interposed between said third lips and said first and second lips, respectively, and being longitudinally substantially coextensive with said first and second lips; and a pair of screws rotatably mounted to said bracket in registry with said threaded bosses, said screws forcing said first and second lips and said third lips into clamping engagement with the intervening edges of said shim member and thereby rigidly securing said bracket to said attachment members.
