Abstract
A ski is provided with a heel clamp longitudinally slidable along the ski between a rear and a forward position and also pivotal on the ski between an up and a down position. A brake element is pivotal on the ski between a ready position extending parallel to the ski and a braking position extending generally normal thereto. A spring is provided for urging the brake element into the braking position. When a skiboot is securely held by the clamp it is in the down and rear position. When the boot is released and the clamp slides forwardly into the front position the abutments disengage to allow the brake element to assume the braking position. Similarly when the clamp pivots up into the upper position the brake element can assume the braking position. Pivoting of the clamp from the up to the down position automatically pushes the brake element back into the ready position.
