Abstract
The invention relates to an interface device between a boot and a ski for modifying in a dynamic manner the pressure distribution of the ski on the snow. The device includes two binding elements, a mobile sensor, a return rocking device, and an element affixed to the ski. The rocking device is arranged to transform a vertical bias exerted on the sensor into a traction bias exerted on the element affixed to the ski. In reaction, a traction bias of the same type can be transmitted towards the rear of the ski.
