Abstract
A apparatus for connecting a boot to a ski, preferably for a cross-country ski. The apparatus includes a plate adapted to be attached to the ski for receiving the sole of the boot. A ski binding is attached to the plate at a first end thereof for attaching the front end of the boot to the ski so as to permit the heel of the boot to be lifted from the ski in normal use. Further, the plate is journalled relative to the ski for permitting the plate, with the boot secured thereon at the first end thereof, to pivot about an axis substantially perpendicular to the ski, wherein the pivot axis extends through the metatarsal region of the foot when the foot is received in the boot held by the apparatus. The heel of the boot is adapted to extend beyond the second end of the plate when the boot is connected to the apparatus.
