Marker Tour F10 and Tour F12
Marker F12 Tour Binding
November 15, 2011
This shows you how to use the F10 and F12 bindings. I wish I had seen this before I went touring. Check out the transition technique, especially the snow removal and knee press.

Marker F10 Tour Binding
November 15, 2011
You may be able to stretch them around the skis. I use the standard binding on a set of Dynastar Legend Sultan 94s. The only issue I find is that my skis don't lock together very well when carrying them.

Marker F10 Tour Binding
November 15, 2011
The safety on both bindings are the same. The differences you will see are are weight and durability. I find the heavier bindings ski better, but if she only weighs 100lbs it probably doesn't matter. YMMV
I patrolled probably 60 days last season and only broke a brake (common across all bindings).

Metolius PAS Personal Anchor System w/ Element Locking Carabiner
September 8, 2008
This is used as a leash to connect your harness to a bolt, protection, ice screw, anchor or something solid. It is a popular alternative to the daisy chain used in rock or ice climbing. The standard daisy chain as a flaw that, when used without proper instruction, can lead to disaster. Though daisy chains do a great job be sure to understand how they work. Check http://www.bdel.com/videos/daisy.html for more information.Due to the material it is made of it is not recommended for activities where you end up above your anchor, such as canyoneering. (The founder of ATS, Darren Jeffrey, demonstrated how easy they can fail in those situations.)

Unfortunately, no, you cannot. For some of Julbo's newer glasses you can purchase a "Optical Clip." These make them Rx-able.
