hi, i have a pair of solly bindings, and it seems like when its super cold out, and when snow gets around my bingings, the brakes do not release and are frozen stuck. 

Any suggestions or ideas?  Can I grease them? WD-40?  what should i do?

Just take them off. I've realized brakes cause more harm than good.

Same thing happens  w/ my salomonz.  Ive spent a few times chasing my run a way ski down the hill.  Ive noticed too that it happens when the binding has some snow in it...

i saw a ski with no brakes hit a snowboarder who was sitting down and he started bleeding everywhere, i guess he got a huge cut on the lower back area where the ski hit him
