A ski binding for retaining an end of a boot on a ski, including a body preferably mounted for pivoting vertically with respect to the ski, a jaw having a pair of arms arranged for lateral movement and elastic bias relative to the body and, further, having a pair of lateral wings arranged for lateral movement on respective lateral arms. Upon movement of one of the lateral arms of the jaw a predetermined amount in response to a lateral force exerted by the boot against a respective wing of a lateral arm, the wing is caused to move laterally outwardly from its lateral arm to release the boot. Further, upon a certain amount of lateral movement of an arm, upward movement of the body is used to reduce the lateral release threshold of the binding.
