High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Look`s Nevada, released in 1950, was the first recognizably modern ski binding. The Nevada was only the toe portion of the binding, and was normally used with a conventional cable binding for the heel. An updated version was introduced in 1962 with a new step-in heel binding, the Grand Prix. These basic mechanisms formed the basis for LOOK bindings for over 40 years, changing mainly in name and construction materials. The Nevada toe pattern is almost universal among bindings today.
