An apparatus and method for canting a skier comprising a cant angle plate that locks on to the heel bearing surface of a ski binding. The cant angle plate has portions of varying thickness for inducing a cant angle when the heel of a boot rests on the cant angle plate locked on to the heel bearing surface of the binding. Thus, the cant angle plate alters the cant angle at which a boot supports a skier's foot and lower leg, relative to the longitudinal running surface or bottom plane of an attached ski.

What is claimed is: 1. A cant angle plate configured to rest on and mate with a heel bearing surface of a ski binding having a heel portion and a toe portion, where a heel portion of a boot attached to the ski binding rests on the heel bearing surface of the ski binding, and with the heel bearing surface of the ski binding having features or structure as part of its design, the cant angle plate comprising:an upper surface having one or more sections of variable thickness configured to form a selected cant angle or tilt angle;one or more mating surfaces configured to rest on the heel bearing surface of the ski binding; andone or more complementary mating elements configured to mate with the features or structure of the heel bearing surface of the ski binding, with the mating surface, upper surface and one or more complementary mating elements configured so that the cant angle plate rests on and mates with the heel bearing surface of the ski binding and does not mate with the toe portion of the ski binding.
