Alpine Touring Bindings

No other piece of equipment is more responsible for the explosion in popularity of backcountry skiing than the Fritschi Freeride Alpine Touring Binding. It was the the first AT binding (with a DIN setting of 12) that truly was beefy enough to ski in and out of the resorts. I've got over 150 days on mine and couldn't be happier. Fritschis aren't the only name in the game, however. Naxo has brought in some competition and Dynafit is still the choice for those that don't spend as much time in the resorts. This year, Silvretta has entered the fray in a big way with the Silvretta Pure Freeride. I hope to put this on my new Seth Vicious pair and I'll let you know. To view the AT bindings in action check out any of the tours from the hiking page or most of the action from any of the ski resort galleries.
