Image
There are three technologies for ski touring bindings : Ski touring bindings Adapters The adapters are between your shoes ( alpine skiing ) and your bindings (alpine skiing). They allow two positions: climb (heel released), and decent (fixed heel). The most popular models are « Securefix » and « Alpine Trekker ». This type of binding set is not allowed for common use in ski touring , for several reasons: 1/ You take your track gear that weighs a dead donkey and go drooling! 2/ You are very high and therefore very unstable, the edge is almost impossible: watch out for crossings on snow a little hard … 3/ Some models do not offer the possibility of putting knives… Passes again for an initiation (although if you don’t want to be disgusted it may not be the right choice).
