Adjustable ski brake

A ski brake is formed of spring wire bent so that one end, carrying a plastic brake shoe, forms one brake arm and an intermediate portion, formed into a first loop welded at the top, forms a second brake arm. A transverse portion of the wire, intermediate the pair of brake arms, is rotatably mounted in an open slot of a mounting pad secured to a ski. Extending from the first loop is a second or holding loop. The remaining end of the wire is parallel with the transverse portion and is rotatably mounted in a second open slot in the mounting pad. An anti-friction metal plate covers the mounting pad. A pair of brake stops are located inward of the extending brake arms when in a rest position adjacent the ski upper surface. Each brake stop has a serrated bottom surface clamped against a toothed pad which extends across the ski. A slot and screw adjustment allows each brake stop to be aligned with the side edge of the ski in order to prevent the brake arms from being bent over the ski and thus hanging up during a release condition.
