A binding () has a lower surface () has a width (L) and is mounted on an upper surface of a ski () of width (L). The width of the lower surface () is less than or equal to the width of the ski (). A support body () diverges in width along lateral boarders () from the lower surface () to an upper surface () of width (L). The upper surface supports an anti-friction plate () that defines a support zone () of width (L). The width (L) of the support zone () is greater than width (L) of the lower surface () and the width (L) if the ski ().
