Lateral Issues

By Anonymous Ranked #1165 - Alpine Touring Bindings November 9, 2007

Still having a little too much lateral play than I would like to see. I am skiing a stiff long Sugar Daddy charging all types of snow. I see very poor hard pack in resort groom performance. You might be a little disappointed if you are trying to have an all around ski that rips on hard pan in, or out of the resort! They glide so much nicer than their competition however. So if you are planning on a backcountry ski, choose wisely for this binding. Its best for crud, and pow where you get a little more play with floaty turns. High performance carving will disappoint you on this binding so don't expect to get a ripper ski and put these binding on the and expect to look good in your one piece suit at the resort. So you just need to buy two, maybe three pair of skis. Like we all should. Still searching for that binding that I can put on any ski, I just don't think they make one yet.

Pros - Easy to transition to different steepness with the heal risers, good combo with the crampons you can buy, glide better than all the others,

Cons - Heavier, lateral flex too much
