I have a pair of Methods and love them. I use them with Marker Barons and use the AT sole blocks which all work great together. However, can I use the AT sole blocks with regular alpine bindings or do I need to buy a pair of Alpine sole blocks? I am going on a trip and will need to demo skis so I want to be sure I have the right gear. Thanks

Its just not a good idea, on the alpine block it is a smooth plastic that will consistently slide off when torsionally twisted... on an AT binding there are sliders that aid in release thats why you can have the rubber soles.

I have used the AT block in alpine bindings with no problems, but I'd be wary like peter said as you may not get as good of toe release.

i have heard of people stuffing the a/t blocks into regular bindings but that doesnt seem safe. ive never done it but personally id by the alpine sole blocks. just safer and then u have them for later use
