A snowboard binding using for a snowboard is provided. The snowboard binding includes a baseplate, a boot supporter surrounding the baseplate, an interlocking assembly, and a stopper disposed on the interlocking assembly. The boot supporter includes a first side, a second side, and a rear side. The interlocking assembly is disposed at the first side of the boot supporter. A mutual positional relationship between the interlocking assembly and the snowboard presents an initial state. As snowboard boot touches the interlocking assembly to change the initial state while the snowboard boot is put in and fixed to the snowboard binding. Concurrently the interlocking assembly drives the stopper to rotate so that the stopper leaves or inserts into snowfield.

A snow ski has a longitudinal body defining a sole for gliding on the snow. The ski includes: (a) a platform slidably coupled to the body for sliding longitudinally relative to the body; and (b) a gripping element slidably and rotatably coupled to the body and rotatably coupled to the platform. The gripping element extends downward to penetrate the snow in response to the platform being slid rearward relative to the body. The gripping element retracts upward above the sole when the platform is slid forward relative to the body. First and second gripping elements may be disposed on opposing sides of the body. A locking mechanism selectively locks the platform at a forward position, in which the gripping element is retracted, one or more intermediate positions, or a rearward position in which the gripping element extends to penetrate the snow. A ski-traction kit for retrofitting a ski is provided.

System for a touring ski-binding comprising a front unit and heel unit comprising a heel member, wherein the stopper plate is switchable between an adjacent position and a protruding position, wherein the stopper plate is configures to leave the adjacent position when the touring ski binding is released, wherein the heel unit is switchable between a starting position for providing a blocking function and for receiving a ski boot, and a snap-in position for retaining the ski boot, wherein the heel unit comprises a walking means by means of which the stopper plate can be blocked in the adjacent position, wherein the blocking means with respect to the pivot axis is switchable between a blocking position and a non-blocking position depending on the position of the heel member, wherein with respect to the downhill mode the front unit in the climbing mode of the touring ski-binding is displaced to the front in the longitudinal direction of the ski, so that a ski boot present in the touring ski-binding cannot contact the heel member of the heel unit.

A heel unit for a touring ski-binding, comprising, a heel member, wherein the heel member comprises a reception bowl for receiving the heel part of a ski boot and a biasing device for biasing the heel unit against a ski boot, and wherein the heel unit is switchable between a starting position for receiving or releasing the ski boot and a snap-in position for holding the ski boot, wherein the heel unit comprises a blocking means by means of which the heel unit can be blocked in the starting position, wherein the blocking means is switchable between a blocking position and a non-blocking position.
