By Ranked #654 - Telemark Bindings March 29, 2007

These bindings are sweet, and I haven't even used them in the backcountry yet. I find they drive the ski hard in hard pack conditions (we had six weeks of no snow in the Sierras this year) and are a joy in the lighter stuff because they really force me to make aggressive turns. I would recommend this binding with ridiculously stiff components for folks who ski in big ski boots (I'm in the Scarpa T1). Can't wait to use them with skins, the transfer to free pivot is easy with the push of a ski pole, although I wonder what would happen in super ice conditions....
