By Ranked #1224 - Alpine Touring Bindings November 9, 2008

I'm new to backcountry touring last season. Am thinking of putting these on a pair of '06, K2 Chiefs (98mm waist) - will brakes be wide enough? I'm used to a downhill setup, will this be an easier transition for me than a dynafit system? - I'll be able to use my alpine boots with these - right? Does mounting them more forward or back make a difference? I'm very aggressive on just about everything and am concerned about launching at high speed. Will be doing 75% resort and 25 BC w/80 - 100 days per season. What a ya think, are these are the bindings I need. - Thanks for your help, Dave

These bindings are great for you, they will work with alpine boots. You might also want to look at the Marker Duke. They are stronger and ski like an alpine binding.________________________go for the dukes or barons, don't be scared of naxos either
