The Salomon MTN Tour Bindings are for skiers who like to earn their turns rather than ride lifts. For human powered skiing or skinning, these light weight bindings tip the scales at a lightweight 400 grams per binding and will reward you with extra energy to go further or go for multiple laps on a full day tour. Simple construction with fewer pieces adds robustness and a wider screw pattern offers better energy transmission for both the ascent and the descent. The wider screw pattern also avoids bindings form pulling out from ski for added reliability. Built with a rigid and strong Aluminum throughout, it allows for enhanced power transmission directly from the skiers input from boot, to binding to ski. An easy step-in with a patented step-in aid using guiding elements allows for the right positioning of the toe into the tech arms of toe piece. Easy climbing aids in manipulation and can be done with just the flick of your pole to engage the climbing bars for when the skin track gets steep. And unlike other tech bindings, you don’t have to turn the heel to engage the climbing bars. An integrated ski brake gives you added confidence for descending too. For high performance alpine touring, the Salomon MTN Tour Bindings is just what ski tourers need to access their near and far objectives.
