FYI, The rods themselves are actually made out carbon fiber and run the entire length of the ski in separate tubes on each side of the ski. Increased stiffness in the ski is created by tensioning the carbon rod in the tube. Regardless, the ski is pretty bomb-proof, a solid wood core with a sheet of titanium for good measure.
