A ski binding which has a bearing member and confinement means moveable relative to the bearing member to releasably confine a ski boot in use. Means are provided which are associated with the confinement means to maintain the confinement means in or to release the confinement means from the position wherein they hold the ski boot on the bearing member. The bearing member is elastically attached to a ski to allow relative elastic movement between the bearing member and the ski. Activating means are provided to act upon the means associated with the confinement means which release the confinement means when a predetermined relative movement of the bearing member relative to the ski has occurred. The predetermined movement in order to effect release must be lateral twisting or upward elastic movement or a combination of both. The activating means include release member which moves relative to the bearing member along substantially one line whether the bearing member undergoes lateral twisting upward or upward twisting movements. The invention also comprehends means to stress a ski which comprises levers mounted on the ski boot and a tensioning construction between the levers and the ski so that forward movement of the levers causes the tensioning means to stress the ski.
