The writeup on the Duke Marker's states that "system guarantees the binding WILL NEVER INADVERTANTLY OPEN IN SKI MODE... a nice thing to know when you're 50 feet in the air and coming down fast."Is this a concern for Fritschi Freerides?I'm a fairly aggressive skiier. I might be 50 feet in the air on these bindings once or twice a season.

Not so much anymore. That used to be a pretty common problem with these bindings when the ski flexed. They did a minor modification to the down-locked latch mechanism between the freeride and freeride+ to make it beefier in that way. It can happen, but that said, You don't have to take your boot out to change modes.

I have seen guys pull the heels free on these bindings, but that is pretty rare, and pretty damn hard to do. They are designed to ski pretty aggressively, but definitely not like the Dukes, which are the best downhill touring binding around. But 50 footers shouldn't be too much for these.
