I have a pair of Blizzard Rustler 10s with the Look Pivot 15 CAST system. Love the setup but it's a tad heavy -- I've been looking at the Blaze 106 as well as an alternative. I'd just swap the CAST bindings onto the Blaze and put a regular Look pivot on the Blizzards. But anyways - if you're looking at some slightly heavier skis that would work for 70/30, I'd add the Blizzard Rustler 10 to the list

Hey guys, 

i need some help deciding which backcountry skis to buy. I have been skiing the Volkl Gotama the past seven years, and they are totally fine for what they are - i only use them for resorting and off-piste. The Gotamas are really nice in deep powder, but they aren’t that playful and fun. I find them a bit to stiff, and not very agile. Its also worth noting that we don’t get deep powder every week, so it would be nice to have something that also works for harsher conditions. I currently have a pair of Salomon QST pro 100 boots that works fine for skinning, and i have decided on the Salomon Shift bindings. I will probably use them 70/30 resorting and skinning. Im 180cm and weight in at 80kg. I don’t have much experience skinning and i know weight is important, but i don’t feel like going narrower than 95 (feel free to argue against me). 

These are the skis that are currently available in my area:
- Volkl Mantra M6
- volkl Mantra 102
- Volkl Blaze 106
- Black Crows Navis Freebird
- Black Crows Camox Freebird
- Atomic Backland 100
- Atomic Backland 107
- K2 Wayback 106
- K2 Wayback 96
- Blizzard Zero G 105
- Blizzard Zero G 95
- Salomon N QST 106
- Salomon N QST 98

Thanks!

New backcountry skis

It’s been narrowed down to the Look Pivot 15 GW, Marker Griffon 13 ID, and the Marker Jester 16 ID (18 Pro is the same price as 16). I’m finding the Griffons are ~ $100 cheaper, Pivots are highly regarded as indestructible, and Jesters are beefier Griffons. I’ll likely have these skis for a long time and will be skiing around 80 days this winter so I need my binding to hold up well.

 I've been on it for a while and it's got all you want. On that note, this is why most freestyle and slopestyle skiers trust Look, just like me. I trust Look. Thank you for watching

Choose this binding for optimized downhill performance, but do so with caution. As it pertains to inherently compromised backcountry ski bindings, we can seldom make absolute claims. However, we can definitely assert that the Marker Duke PT is the best skiing binding that can also tour. Aside from minor points, the Duke PT skis as well as basic to above average resort bindings. We can say that about few to no other backcountry products. 
That, though, is where the applause ends. To get that downhill performance, the Duke PT is too heavy and complicated to compete on any level with actual touring bindings. The Duke PT is literally 7x the weight of the lightest binding we tested &#40;and 12x the weight of lightest options on the market!&#41; For all that weight, you might get downhill performance that is 2x the light options. That's tough math to reconcile. Basically, these bindings are for resort &#40;or other mechanized ascent, i.e., helicopter or snowcat&#41; skiing that may involve only short ascents. "Regular" backcountry skiing is best done with regular and much lighter backcountry ski bindings.

 So we have a perfect compromise between downhill performance and releasing safety and uphill capability with the pins. So Max, is this your final solution for the one binding to go up upwards, skiing downhill fast and hard? It is the answer to it, this is the perfect binding, the final binding. It doesn't get any better than this in terms of hybrid free ride bindings. What's the weight of the 12 and the 16? So we have 1150 for the smaller version and then reduced if you take the tow part off you save 300 grams so you are at around 850 uphill and for the 16 version we have 1350 and then a bit over 1 kilogram if you have the tow removed

What about child diseases, bindings coming, some defect in the beginning, are you anticipating that? The good thing is that we took a heel that is trusted in the market so we really had to just think of the tow and then what we did is we combined our knowledge from developing the alpinist tow and the gesture tow and then just combined it. So we didn't really have to come up with a completely new concept so we are just combining the strengths we have already

 War, binding war. This time it's Marker throwing a jab at the Salomon Shift with the new Duke PT, a solid binding up to DIN 16 set up to take you up the mountain as well as downwards in a safe manner. Come have a closer look folks. Hi guys, it's Max from Marker and I'll talk you through about our new Duke PT binding

IS MARKER DUKE PT BETTER THAN SALOMON SHIFT?

 I just toured up in this tech. Binding fully tech - and now I have this really locked down sense of confidence to go rip, and you know it's great. We had soft snow to test it in yeah. There'S some hot spots underneath, but I felt like you know Alpine set up, so I mean I think the big takeaway is, if you're looking for an 80 binding, but you you really really really value strong downhill performance

 This is this is a really really really good option now I think it's important to compare it to other bindings and and what I'm doing in my head is kind of drawing a spectrum from kingpin 13, which is already more binding so to speak. Then then, your traditional text fit in bindings, but if you start up the kingpin 13 and then draw a spectrum going through the shift and then up to this, this Duke PT 16 - that that's the that's how I'm thinking of it. You know the kingpin kind of leans they're. All all three of those bindings are designed to do a little bit of everything

 This chat super easy to take them off and super easy to put them back on to so I don't see any downside to take them off. I'M thinking once you put it like you, take it off. It'S obviously you're like oh wow. This is super simple, like yeah, anybody can do it like

 You can tell somebody on the phone how to do it. You could like yeah many. It'S just easy. It'S really simple

Marker Duke PT Alpine Touring Binding Review

 This makes the binding vulnerable to damage in a “knee fall” while touring (as when you pitch forward with your knee trying to go down on a ski and thus yank the binding plate violently forward). Also, they’re heavy at 47 ounces per binding, and thus a poor choice if you’re serious about climbing and don’t tend to break bindings.

Duke is a “frame” or “plate” binding that uses a carbon plastic structure to connect the toe and heel units, so the whole machine can hinge on a toe pivot and thus provide a walking (ski touring) function. Difference is that the frame is wider, very rigid, and latches in a firm system of slots with many times the engagement area of past bindings with similar design philosophy (genre known as “frame bindings”).

Marker Duke Ski Binding - Review and History - The Backcountry Ski Touring Blog

 It'S actually heavier than then the shift is which makes sense. I think that that royal family heel piece is known to be fairly heavy and it looks like this binding is going to be pretty darn burly, so it is the heaviest so for comparison. A a kingpin. Thirteen comes in at 750 grams per binding

 So if you saw that I apologize, I was a little bit confused because binding companies list their their weights a little bit differently, whether it's per binding or per pair. So our apologies, so the the Duke PT, especially that 16 din-din version, is going to be the heaviest so it'll be interesting to see. If we get significant more or significantly more, you know stomp ability whether it feels feels more secure than the shift when you're, when you're locked in into downhill mode. So those will be all things that will we'll be testing once we get our hands on this binding

 It'S crazy windy out right now, so if we get lights flickering or if we lose lights entirely, I apologize we're not like 50 mile, an hour gusts going on out there there's also a they call it a lock and walk break. I assume this is going to function very similarly to how the shift, how you kind of step it down and lock the break up. I imagine it's going to be very similar to that. Let'S talk about weight so the way that this binding falls in with weight is kind of interesting

 Definitely let us know if you have any questions, we can answer all the questions that were able to and those that were unable to we can reach out to marker. We have good good contacts with marker, so yeah exciting new binding. It'S definitely cool to see this category of bindings grow and expand, and - and we will see you guys on the slopes awfully soon - I'm off to a free ski training camp this afternoon, so yeah we'll be skiing, seeing skiing soon and we'll see you on the slopes. Thanks guys,
