ABSTRACT:
An adjustable release ski boot binding is provided for holding a ski boot attached to the surface of a snow ski while skiing. The binding is adapted to permit the toe of the ski boot to pivot laterally and/or vertically out of the binding should a predetermined torque force be applied in that direction; as during a fall by a skier utilizing the binding. Individual spring-loaded components of the binding are provided for restricting movement of the ski boot toe in lateral and vertical planes. The compression force of each spring is adjustable to provide different release capabilities for accommodating different skiing styles, and skier weights. In a preferred embodiment, the spring-loaded components for restricting lateral pivoting of the ski boot out of the binding reset automatically after the displacing torque has been removed.
