The present invention pertains to a spring or alternative elastic, resilient, compressible media cassette for a touring-style ski binding, such as used in alpine touring or telemark skiing. The touring ski binding slip differential cassette provides the skier with variety of tuning options to manually adjust binding size, stiffness, and range of motion. Manual adjustment of binding size, stiffness, and range of motion enhances the touring ski binding ease of use, adjustability, and overall capabilities, further progressing the touring ski binding. In addition, the slip differential cassette provides the touring skier with cassette presets that match each skier to a predetermined binding size, stiffness, and range of motion based on skier weight and ability.

A binding for skis and/or splitboard and/or roller skis and/or snowshoes permitting free lifting of the heel, which permits to lift the front part of the foot. The object of the present solution is also and adapter for standard bindings, a method of binding shoes for skis and/or splitboard and/or roller skis and/or snowshoes, and also a shoe for riding skis and/or splitboard and/or roller skis intended for use in bindings permitting free lifting of the heel.

A ski shoe harness includes a sole, a receiver, and a heel strap. The sole includes a binding mechanism adapted to engage a binding system of a ski. The sole and the receiver are attached and define a space to receive the front portion of a shoe. The heel strap, attached to the receiver, wraps around the rear portion of the shoe, interlocking the ski shoe harness with the shoe. Further, the heel strap includes an adjustment mechanism. Using the ski shoe harness of the present invention, non-ski shoes and boots of a various designs and sizes may be used to share and utilize skis having common cross-country binding systems.

A collapsible ski, by which the front part and a rear part of the ski, when aligned, in such position fixed by a platform, which is by hinges interconnected with a bearing plate, which is attached onto a top surface of the front part of the ski and is rotatable around geometric axis, which extends perpendicularly with respect to the top surface of the ski.

A rotatable sports-board binding adapter mounts to a sports board and allows a user to adjust an angle of one foot relative to the sports board. The adapter includes a base plate forming a series of lock holes and at least one pocket that accommodates a low-friction puck. A rotatable plate connects to the base plate and includes a locking mechanism that can engage with any one of the lock holes to prevent rotation of the rotatable plate. When the low-friction puck is inserted into the pocket, the puck is translatable so that it contacts the rotatable plate, advantageously preventing the rotatable plate and base plate from directly contacting each other while providing a low-friction surface that enables the rotatable plate to easily rotate with respect to the base plate. As the low-friction puck wears, it may be additionally translated, or replaced with a new puck.
