Same Jacket - Different Color
Oakley Cover Jacket - Women's
August 19, 2010
The Canyons park crew shoveled, cut and shaped more than 45 thousand yards of snow to create the largest snow terrain park feature ever built in Utah so Grete Eliassen, an accomplished free skier and X-Games medalist, could achieve a monumental personal goal and truly change the game in womens skiing. Eliassen clicked into her skis, reached speeds of 60 miles an hour downhill, hit the custom 30 foot hip feature and soared more than 31 feet in the air. No woman has ever come close to reaching this height on skis.

Marker Duke Ski Binding
April 18, 2012
On a powered ski it feels the same like any binding. If you are going to be working on butters, etc. you might notice a little difference under foot, but not much. The ski will have more influence on that than the binding.
Helpful Votes: 0 Yes
Marker Duke Ski Binding
April 18, 2012
Yes you can. However, if you are going to be doing a lot of touring on this binding you will probably want to invest in a touring boot. It will make going up hill a lot easier and nicer on your body.
Helpful Votes: 0 Yes
Marker Duke Ski Binding
April 18, 2012
The duke binding is very aggressive even though it has a touring feature. This binding would be perfect if you would like the option to use an alpine binding or a touring binding. I believe this binding would suit your purpose.

Marker Duke Ski Binding
April 18, 2012
Erickjas,
I would agree with the answer above. I have tried to do a multiple day trip on this binding and my skis/bindings were just so heavy it did not work. I ended up getting a lot of muscle pain in my legs even. For longer treks, get a lighter binding. This binding works great if you want to use it once and a while on the mountain. Not for a full trip.
