A safety ski binding arrangement utilizing a sole plate pivotally secured to the ski and remaining with the ski following a release of the ski boot from engagement therewith. A front jaw is mounted on the sole plate and is adapted to move forwardly and rearwardly relative thereto. A locking mechanism is provided to hold the front jaw in a fixed position relative to the sole plate. Lateral forces applied to the locking arrangement will cause the sole plate to swivel about the pivot axis support therefor and effect an unlocking of the securement of the front jaw to the sole plate. The pressure applied by the ski boot to the front jaw will cause the front jaw to move forwardly away from the ski boot and facilitate a release of the ski boot from engagement with the ski. Following a release of the ski boot from engagement with the ski, a weak return spring generates the necessary force to effect a return of the sole plate to the longitudinally aligned position relative to the ski. In addition, the front jaw can be moved rearwardly until it becomes locked in a fixed relationship relative to the sole plate.
