A solid but flexible (plastic or metal) "U" shaped platform for ski binding (mounted in the fashion corresponding to the latest existing binding standards), which is easily attachable, detachable and transferable from one ski to another. The platform, is anchored to the ski through one gliding plate located between the middle of the platform and the front end and a pivoting connection located between the middle of the platform and the rear. The pivoting connection is achieved by the pin, (functioning as an axle), which is securing it in place. The pin has a direction square to the longitudinal direction of the ski and parallel with the ski surface, (See Picture 3 on Page 12). Through this connection the platform is attached solid and "mechanically correct" to the ski. Through this attachment the platform compensates for the negative forces and momentum from the ski binding (with the ski boot connected to it) and allows the ski to maintain almost unrestricted flex with a smooth arc and gradual pressure distribution between the ski and the snow surface. Flex of this kind is very important now with the introduction of the "shaped skis" (introduced 1999) which are very sensitive to it. The platform itself could consists of one or two pieces which are mechanically joined together to adjust to various binding's shapes and dimensions as well as to various ski boot length. The platform is made of a material with the strength similar or higher than the ski's middle part, where the ski binding is regularly mounted to resist the stress from the loads expected in skiing and ski racing. It has the ability to be pressed, drilled or predrilled for binding screws, to hold safely the binding installed on it (by means of regular binding screws).
