Brakes and ski stops: safety and control for your ski bindings

Brakes and ski stops are essential elements of ski bindings, guaranteeing your safety and that of others on the slopes. When a ski detaches from your boot following a fall, the brakes activate to prevent the ski from sliding uncontrollably, reducing the risk of accidents. This safety device is designed to block the ski as soon as it comes loose, thanks to metal arms that extend and anchor themselves in the snow.

Choosing the right brake or stop-ski for your needs

It's important to choose brakes adapted to the width of your skis to ensure proper operation. Brakes should be slightly wider than the ski runner to cover the width of the ski and guarantee effective blocking in the event of a fall. Different models are available for alpine, touring and freeride skis, offering options for each discipline. Ski brakes also stand out for their compatibility with different brands of bindings, such as Salomon, Marker, Atomic and Look.

Installation and replacement

Brakes must be installed correctly to ensure proper operation. Some brakes can be easily installed or replaced by skiers themselves, while others require the intervention of a professional for optimum adjustment. Check the condition of your brakes regularly to make sure they are in good working order, and don't hesitate to replace them if they are damaged.

Ski touring use

In ski touring, ski stops play a crucial role in preventing the ski from slipping during uphill maneuvers or transitions. Some models allow the brakes to be locked in the uphill position and activated in the downhill mode. Touring skiers should therefore choose brakes compatible with their specific bindings.
