A binding to releasably attach a boot to a ski which facilitates release of the boot with the heel of the boot fastened to the ski or with the heel of the boot free to rotate above the ski about the toe of the boot above the ski. The binding includes a pin assembly mountable to the ski and a socket assembly which rotatably and releasably engages the pin assembly and which receives and carries the toe of the boot. In operation, the boot is biased into the socket assembly and when a force is applied to the boot overcoming the bias, the boot is released from the ski to prevent injury to the skier.
