Abstract
A downhill ski binding () that operates to allow the skier to select a number of skates or a time interval, after which a lock means () locks the rearward end () of a ski boot plate () to a ski plate/lift () and/or a ski () until reset. Until the pre-selected number of skates or time interval is reached, the rearward end of the ski boot plate is freely moveable with respect to the ski plate/lift and/or ski, thereby allowing the skier to freely skate. A variety of configurations and mechanical, electromechanical and electromagnetic dynamic locking means are described, several with remote input means () and a logic unit ().
