Abstract:
A platform for mounting a ski binding on a ski (7) having an inside turning edge, an outside turning edge, and a centerline, the platform comprising a rigid part (3a) and a cantilivered end (3c) extending from an upper portion of the rigid part, the ski binding being fixed to the upper portion of the rigid part and an upper portion of the cantilevered end, the rigid part having a lower portion which attaches to the ski at points which lie to one side of the centerline and adjacent the inside turning edge of the ski, the cantilevered end extending from the upper portion of the rigid part to an opposite side of the centerline adjacent the outside turning edge of the ski and an elastic part (4) located between a lower portion of the cantilevered end and the ski, wherein the elastic part (4) extends along the outside turning edge of the ski, so that the elastic part constitutes a means of dampening bending movement of the cantilevered end in a direction towards the ski.
