A downhill ski binding ( 2 ) that operates to allow the skier to select a number of skates or a time interval, after which a lock means ( 30 ) locks the rearward end ( 28 ) of a ski boot plate ( 4 ) to a ski plate/lift ( 14 ) and/or a ski ( 22 ) 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 ( 104 ) and a logic unit ( 102 ).
