Abstract
Apparatus for a cross-country ski having a longitudinal median plane for laterally guiding a ski shoe whose toe is attached to the ski on top of the ski and whose heel is vertically movable in the median plane on the ski includes a longitudinally extending guide rib adapted to be attached to the top of the ski. This rib is symmetrically located with respect to the median plane of the ski and has top and lateral side surfaces adapted to cooperate with a longitudinal groove in the sole of the ski shoe. The groove has a bottom and lateral side surfaces for receiving the rib when the sole of the shoe seats on the top of the ski. Finally, a resilient member is interposed between the bottom of the groove in the shoe and the top of the ski for resilient compression in response to the seating of the sole on the top of the ski.
