The bindings include a base (12) attached to the riding surface of the ski or snowboard. Disposed on the base is a frame with lateral sides (16). At the heel end of the frame, a portion (18) raised from the base connects the lateral sides. Disposed onto the raised portion is a locking mechanism (22) for resiliently engaging the receiving structure of the heel portion of the boot.
