how does the explore compare to the freeride? For mostly ski patrol resort service and occasional forays off-piste.

The Explore is lighter, less rigid and sports a lower DIN. Generally this binding is made for touring. As a downhill binding, the Freeride is definitely the way to go, but I guess it would depend on you skier type and ability; Beginner, Lightweight, or Gingerly skiers could still lean towards the Explorer.
