Atomic bindings

Atomic freely admits that the Neox 614 Alpine Binding looks kinda ugly. The good news is that it skis real pretty-like. The Neox gives you more fun with less risk, thanks to a bevy of ingenious safety and performance features. Fullflex Twin design means the Neox lets your whole ski flex so you get the full benefit from those high-tech planks.

 

A moveable AFD plate under the toe and backward release system let you recover fully if you keep it together, and let you loose no matter which crazy direction you fall in. A laser print DIN-Scale that gets individually tested and printed at the factory ensures you get exactly the release setting you specify. With metal reinforcements and a beefy DIN range of 6-14, the Neox delivers for your aggressive style.

 
 

We carry the whole lineup of Atomic bindings.

Dynastar bindings

The new Dynastar PX 12 JIB is, without a doubt, THE freestyle binding. The PX technology is especially adapted for freestyle use. Energy transmission and return have been impressively increased in this new generation of bindings to create a rebound effect especially appreciated in the pipe and park.

With 7 points of contact to the boot, the Dynastar PX 12 JIB WB Ski binding has proven to be one of the most trusted bindings for freestyle and freeride use. The heel piece's lateral arms are angled down to apply greater pressure to the edge of the ski. This creates more power going directly from skier to ski with less energy loss.

 

We carry the whole lineup of Dynastar bindings.

Fritschi AT bindings

Back for 08 is the upgraded Fritschi Freeride Plus. Aimed at the fast skier whose emphasis in the backcountry is on bigger turns and drops. It offers even better downhill power transmission and rigidity thanks to the addition of the support frame under the rear section of the titanal bar.

The Freeride Plus combats midski stiffness by employing a "floating bridge" ... allowing for a more natural flex of the ski.

With a beefy design and DIN setting of 12, this binding can take the abuse of big mountain freeskiing.

For the hike up, the Freeride's four-position heel riser and neutral front pivot point give you unparalleled traction and efficiency.
Small 4-7.5, Medium 7.5-12, Extra Large 11-13.5.

 

Marker bindings

The Duke and the Jester have been designed by Markers Advanced Product Development team to significantly change the binding category today. The design and features of these bindings will enhance the freeskier's experience, whether it is safety in the backcountry, providing better mobility in climbing, or enhanced performance in the pipe and park.

For the big mountain freeskier who wants an easy climbing function combined with the ultimate in security and performance coming down the mountain.

We carry the whole lineup of Marker bindings.

 

Naxo AT bindings

Finally, alpine touring (A.T.) bindings designed specifically for the hard-charging skier. Made for aggressive skiing and aggressive approaches. Ski them at the resort. Ski them in the backcountry.


The Naxo nx21 Alpine Touring Binding was introduced last season as a new standard in DIN releasable bindings ... with a class leading 14 DIN spring tension. You can walk in the Naxo equally well in either alpine or AT boots. The crux of its design is an innovative Virtual Rotation System that features three pivot points under the toe piece. This allows for a totally natural, rolling stride while touring.

Adjust climbing posts easily with a ski pole to three different angle settings depending on the steepness of the terrain. Standard width brakes (fit up to 94mm waists) are included - extra wide brakes (fit up to 105mm waist) available as an option. The small fits up to 284mm boot soles, medium up to 324mm, and large up to 354mm.

Alpine Trekkers

Alpine Trekkers Touring Adaptor by Backcountry Access. Put the FREE Back in Free-Riding!

Access the backcountry without the expense of a full alpine touring or telemark rig. The Alpine Trekker is the system of choice for those just getting started—and for high performance free-riders making quick hits away from the resort.

The concept is simple. Click your Trekkers into your bindings, then snap in your boots (or vice versa). Your heels are now free. When you reach the top, remove your Trekkers and skins and place them in your pack. You know the rest of the story.

Atomic Big Daddy

The BigDaddy is, well, bigger this season. With a solid 125 underfoot this probably won't be the only ski in your quiver ... but I bet you will ride this easy turning ski more than you think. If you are a big strong skier ... then you will want a ski to match.


This ski is a little stiffer than other skis in the superfat category ... and a little less shapely. That means they will be be more versitile. These skis will probably see a lot of days ... as long as the snow is soft and grippy, these skis will rip.

Garmont Xena

Garmont's Xena g-fit is modelled on the excellent Adrenalin, designed for aggressive female skiers wanting to arc the biggest freeride skis with the mobility and comfort of a ski mountaineering boot.

The Xena is fully compatible with all step-in bindings, whether alpine or ski-mountaineering. The outer soles are interchangeable so that you can choose between rocker-ed rubber Ski Mountaineering sole for climbing and touring, or switch to the flat ISO alpine soles for use with conventional alpine bindings.

A great choice for high-octane female skiers wanting a boot that combines performance with comfort.
