Ski binding (1) comprising a toe binding (2) and a heel binding (3), configured to be operatively associated to a ski (100) at a upper surface (101) of said ski, and a blocking and adjusting mechanism (4), reversibly actuatable by the user, by means of an operation lever, between a blocking position, at which said toe binding and said heel binding are solidly connected to said ski in a fixed position, and a release position, at which said toe binding and said heel binding are free to slide with respect to said ski.

In one example, a ski binding control and release assembly includes a motor, an actuator element connected to the motor, an arm operably engaged with the actuator element and selectively engageable with a toe piece of a ski binding, and a binding plate. The binding plate is configured to be mounted at least indirectly to a ski, wherein the binding plate is configured to slidingly engage a toe piece of a ski binding so that the toe piece is movable lengthwise relative to the binding plate when the toe piece and the binding plate are engaged with each other. Finally, a control system is provided that is operable to cause movement of the arm.

A ski binding comprising a toe assembly comprised of, a toe housing, a bi-direction lateral release mechanism integrated into the toe housing, a vertical release mechanism integrated into the toe housing; and heel assembly comprised of, a heel housing, a bi-direction lateral release mechanism integrated into the heel housing, a vertical release mechanism integrated into the housing.
