Editing Ski binding (section)

=== Look Nevada—1950 ===
The introduction of the [[Look Nevada]] in 1950 represented a significant advance in ski bindings. The Nevada held the toe centred over the ski using two metal fingers shaped into an upside-down V. The fingers were pivoted to allow motion to the sides, and centred with a spring. During a fall, sideways torsion could overcome the force of the spring and allow the boot to release directly to the side. This design was quickly copied by other vendors, notably [[Marker (ski bindings)|Marker]], and had the first real impact on the dominance of the fixed-toe bindings. By the late 1950s, there were about 35 different release toe bindings on the US market,<ref name=":6" /> most of which used a normal Kandahar-style heel cable.
