Title: Ski brake

Abstract: A ski brake is incorporated in a slide mount for a ski binding component. The slide mount has a rail mounted on the ski, a slide mounted for movement along the rail, and a lever mounted for pivotal movement relative to the rail, and arranged to effect movement of the slide. The slide carries a plunger assembly component of the ski binding. The ski brake includes extensions mounted on the liner for movement therewith, and a torsional spring arranged to urge the lever to move toward a raised position. The torsional spring causes the lever to move to its raised position in the absence of an axial load on the plunger. As the lever moves toward its raised position, the extensions move downwardly below the ski to inhibit free sliding movement of the ski.
