CABLE BINDINGSS

Specialty Definition: Ski binding

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In skiing, a ski binding is an attachment which anchors the ski boot to the ski. Such bindings exist in several variations:

The cable binding (aka Kandahar binding), where the toe section of the boot is anchored, and an adjustable cable around the heel (for which there is a groove in the heel of the shoe) securs the boot. Used for cross-country (to a certain extent), Telemark and ski jumping.

The Rottefella (from the Norwegian word for rat trap), where a lip at the toe section of the boot is clamped to the ski. Used for cross-country skiing.

The NNN (New Nordic Norm), where a bar in the toe of the shoe is hooked into a catch in the binding. Used for cross-country skiing. Also exists in the more rugged BC (Back Country) variant.

The Alpine safety binding, where the shoe is firmly clamped to the ski at the toe and the heel, but to prevent damage, a mechanism yields if the forces at the binding points are over a certain preset value. Used for Alpine skiing.
