A ski brake includes a pair of elongated levers each situated at one side of a ski and pivotable between an extended and an intermediate position laterally of the ski. A free end portion of the lever engages the surface on which the ski is supported when the ski becomes detached from the ski boot. A spring arrangement urges the respective levers toward their extended positions. The levers are further mounted on the ski for angular displacement between the intermediate position and a retracted position in which the free ends of the levers are located over the upper surface of the ski so as not to interfere with the proper operation of the ski. Another spring arrangement urges the levers from their retracted to their intermediate positions when the ski boot becomes detached from the ski. The other spring arrangement includes a curved member directly or indirectly connected to the levers, the curvature of which is changed in response to attachment of the ski boot to the ski with attendant displacement of the levers into their retracted positions.
