Abstract
A platform base mounted on a ski is provided with a pair of separated heel and toe platforms which are relatively movable thereon, each of which carries a fixed or adjustable ski binding thereon. The heel and toe platforms are adjustably connected together for movement relative to each other and as a unit along the platform base. The platform base has only an intermediate length thereof in contact with and secured to the upper surface of the ski, which length is shorter than the combined length of the heel and toe platforms.
