Summary
[edit]DescriptionKandahar binding with boot.jpg |
English: A Kandahar "bear trap" binding, used by the US 10th Mountain Division during WWII. The boot is held in place primarily by the angular metal clip at the toe. The leather strap running through the clip holds the boot down and back, holding it in the clip. In order to keep the boot from sliding out of the clip to the rear, a cable runs down the side of the boot to the long spring-like metal strap running around the heel area and over the back of the sole of the boot. The spring strap allows the length of the cable to change when the skier strides, which requires the heel of the boot to lift off the ski, pivoting at the toe. Just off-frame to the right is a lever that is used to tension the cable assembly and provide enough forward force to keep the boot held firm in the clip. This example is missing one feature of most "Kandahar"-style bindings, a second metal clip near the heel that the cable can be clipped into to prevent the heel rising off the ski. This is used while skiing downhill and then released to return to cross-country striding. |
