1. A quick release ski binding mounting system, for use with a ski having a top surface and with a ski boot binding having a mounting structure disposed over a preselected length, comprising:
a two-element mating pair of quick release fastener components mountable between a ski binding and a ski to selectively engage and disengage with respect to each other, thereby enabling the quick attachment or removal of a binding with respect to a ski; wherein a first quick release fastener component of said pair of quick release fastener components, in use, attaches at the bottom of the binding, and a second quick release fastener component of said pair of quick release fastener components attaches, in use, to the top surface of a ski; wherein said pair of quick release fastener components is of preselected length that is shorter than said preselected length of a binding mounting structure, in use mounting a binding to a ski over a shorter attachment footprint on the ski than the resulting footprint of directly mounting of the binding on the ski, such that the scrub portion of the ski is reduced in length; a binding mounting plate of preselected length, having top and bottom faces, in use carrying said ski boot binding on the top face thereof, and carrying said first quick release element on the bottom face thereof; and wherein the preselected length of said binding mounting plate is longer than the preselected length of the binding mounting structure, wherein opposite end portions of the binding mounting plate are support zones, in use carrying opposite ends of the binding on the binding mounting plate, and a center zone of the binding mounting plate is a fastening zone located between the two support zones and carrying said first quick release element. |
