A release heel binding for use with skis and ski boots which utilizes a torsion bar type means for restraining the boot, permitting some upward movement of the heel, and means for positively releasing the ski boot after the heel has lifted a predetermined amount. The unit is adjustable so that the necessary force required to release the boot can be changed to make the binding usable across a wide range of operating conditions. The torsion bars provide for high energy storage to return the binding when lower than release loads have been encountered. The unit can be reset either by stepping into the binding, or by a manual reset movement of a lever.
