Abstract

A ski brake having a resilient tensioning member to which is secured bladed members is mounted on a ski plate having a releasable binding thereon. The resilient member is normally held in a position parallel to the upper surface of the sole plate by the weight of the skier to hold the bladed members in a retracted position. A release of the ski boot from the sole plate will cause the spring force of the resilient tensioning member to effect a movement of the bladed members to an extended position to brake the ski.
