There is provided a boot attachment for attaching a boot to a ski. The boot has an ankle portion and a foot portion. The boot attachment has a base having a toe binding and a heel binding, a boot receiver with a lower portion and an upper portion, a pivot connecting the boot receiver to the base, and a pivot lock that selectively locks the pivot. In use the lower portion retains the foot portion of the boot, and the upper portion retains the ankle portion of the boot, and movement of the receiver about the pivot causes the upper portion of the boot receiver to move away from the base.
