Race/Ultralight AT Bindings
- Light and fast; these bindings are not made to withstand regular resort abuse. They're reliable and fast, but not meant for hucking. Require Dyanfit compatible boots.
|
|
Performance/All-Around AT Bindings
- Not too heavy to bring to the backcountry on a regular basis, but not too light to ski on the resort regularly either. A great binding for the skiier who finds them self in the backcountry as much as on the resort but can only afford one setup. Any AT (without belows) or Alpine boot will work fine.

Freeride AT Bindings
- The ultimate sidecountry/slackcountry binding. Not light, but you're not hiking all day anyway. These are the ones you can ski on the resort all morning before you duck off the back to huck into your favorite stash. Any AT (without belows) or Alpine boot will work fine. |

While Dynafit bindings are not meant to withstand daily resort abuse, they make backcountry approaches and climbs much more efficient. Does this mean you can never take a lap or two with the magic couch after a morning of hiking? No, but it does mean this shouldn't be the binding on your only setup if you ski 50% or more of your time on the resort. The DIN settings are just as reliable as those on Alpine or setp-in AT bindings (when set and used correctly). While Dynafit setups are more expensive, most feel the weight savings is worth it.

Step-In bindings can accomodate any Alpine boot and almost any AT boot (boots with belows like the Scarpa F3 should not be used with Step-In bindings). They're a great choice for the cross-over skier or the skier just starting to explore the backcountry who doesn't want to invest in a dedicated backcountry setup. Step-In bindings are durable enough to ski the resort on a regular basis.
