Abstract

A snowboard binding that includes lock-retaining elements having sloping or conical surfaces for guiding the sole of a snow boot into a seated position. The boot sole becomes more restricted in the longitudinal and transverse directions, the further the boot is introduced into the binding, and a snowboard and a boot combination further having interengaging boot-retaining members on the binding and locking parts on the boot sole.
