Abstract
A one piece layer is provided for protecting the flat surface of a cross-country or telemark ski binding. The layer is a single die-cut self-adherent film to precisely fit the binding plate. The layer is made of a non-stick material such as teflon or polyethylene with one side of the layer made of a high-tack silicone or arcylic adhesive to attach the layer to the binding. The exterior non-stick surface of the layer provides a most effective means for preventing snow and ice buildup on the binding plate and includes a means of covering the heads of the ski binding mounting screws.
