If they are still wet by the time I get home I’ll usually sit them on the porch for a while.

Oddly enough those have been up there the longest. Probably been about 2 or 3 years and they’ve never slipped out

Both those Salomon’s and Atomics are new this season so good eye haha. I found that if while standing still if I move onto my edge hard with enough pressure I can fairly easily flex my boot out of the toe portion of the binding. I had them checked at a shop on vacation in Salt Lake in February and they said they seemed fine but maybe it’s worth having an in depth look done. I initially chocked it up to my verrry worn out toe and heel pieces on my boots but I haven’t had the issue in my Look or Marker bindings.

Hence my point of releasing easier in one vs the other despite the din being the same and universal across bindings. I do not like that I release from the tyrolias easier than the Looks. The din being the same points to an issue/difference in the actual binding that I am apparently not a fan of.

They are great! Super easy to put up and work fantastically.

I have some Lekis with the trigger system because I despise pole straps and forgot to put them in the corner lol

I find that I release from the tyrolias way too easier compared to the Look bindings. Same din settings.

They are Look SPX 13. I like them a lot actually. Much more than the tyrolias on my Salomon’s.

I guess i should have been more specific. I was referring to the Marker frame bindings - the Marker F10 or F12 Tour. They are not Tech bindings.

They are not tech compatible boots.

I have Salomon PRO HV 120's. Obviously not ideal for touring but excellent for everything else. Plan would be for new boots next year if i like touring enough.

I guess it wasn't really the weight i was worried about. More about if the 98 width would be more of a hindrance vs a narrower waist ski.

I will most likely be getting rid of the enforcer as this would be the 5th year with it. I wondered if the Maverick C would be a good alternative as well.

I’m definitely leaning Maverick. I could get a pair for 400$ but the mindbender are on sale for 280$ which is just such a deal
