Abstract
Abstract A two piece snow ski binding which has no movable parts. The subject binding, having no straps or horizontal protrusions, depends solely upon the downward weight of the skier for the capture of the ski boot. Conversely, any upward movement of the skier's boot, or unweighting, allows full release of the boot.
