Fly high this ski season with Salomon's ultra-strong STH 16 B115 freestyle ski binding. It has a DIN scale that ranges from 9 to 16, so it's ideal for launching your biggest tricks (and possibly a new career). Yep, up to 16 DIN. Considering that some racing bindings usually go up to 14 DIN (sustaining a skier weight of 286 lbs.) and Salomon's vendor workbook didn't even chart this one on their binding technical charts (it just says 209 lbs. and up), it's a pretty safe bet that you're not going to prematurely hurl out of the STH 16 B115 Ski Binding unless you're catching meteors while skiing down the mountain. The STH 16 B115 isn't just the best designed freestyle binding from Salomon--it's one of the best in the industry. Salomon reinforced their freestyle bindings with a metallic reinforced heels and toe units, but kept the same articulated tracks and big-air stomp pedals. If you need the executive summary: It's all stronger and lighter than ever before. That means more frequent flyer time and no moments wasted on fiddling with flimsy components that were never designed to withstand the impacts of extreme landings. The STH 16 B115 has Salomon's High Lateral performance transmission with precise, Micro Simultaneous wing adjustments. The diagonal pivot release system is critical for freestyle skiers who sometimes get moves so wrong that they need to bail safely at all angles. If you want this binding but you need a wider ski brake for your massively long Teneighty Gun or other backcountry freestyle planks, check out the wide 130-mm. brake on Salomon's STH 16 B130 ski binding.

Super-size your ski season with Salomon's ultra-strong STH 16 B100 freestyle ski binding. It has a DIN scale that ranges from 9 to 16, so it's ideal for launching your biggest tricks (and possibly a new career). Yep, up to 16 DIN. Considering that some racing bindings usually go up to 14 DIN (sustaining a skier weight of 286 lbs.) and Salomon's vendor workbook didn't even chart this one on their binding technical charts (it just says 209 lbs. and up), it's a pretty safe bet that you're not going to prematurely hurl out of the STH 16 B100 Ski Binding unless you're catching meteors while skiing down the mountain.

The perfect balance between innovative design and lightweight technology, the engineers at Dynafit have developed a binding that has revolutionized backcountry skiing. The Dynafit TLT Vertical ST Bindings with 92mm Brakes are dependable, reliable, strong and superlight. For the skier in need of excellent rotation control, stopping power, and adjustable DIN tension, the TLT Vertical ST Bindings are the ticket. Designed with brakes (included) and crampon compatible (sold separately), the TLT Vertical ST Bindings are ready to hit the skin tracks and the powder fields.

Going big always looks good on the big screen, but few in your audience (except perhaps you) ever realize the full impact shock of the landings--even the ones that are perfectly stomped. While some binding designers pile on the padding, other companies like Burton realize there is a micro-fine line between binding padding and responsiveness, and that's why they got everything right when they made this new C60 EST binding. The C60 EST features Burton's new MegaBED Cushioning System, a composite platform atop cushioned EVA columns. Burton compares it to off-road shocks for rally cars, but the good thing is that you minimize landing impacts without losing touch with the feeling of the terrain and snow conditions beneath your board. The C60 EST also features Burton's new Cored Ultrastrap Air. It's a high-end ankle strap that was hollowed out and filled with encapsulated air padding to minimize weight and (more importantly) improve response. What we like is the comfort on the Cored Ultrastrap Air. Tighten it up if you need to feel it's there, but this is the sort of performance binding that when sized and adjusted, you can easily wear all day without enduring excess foot fatigue. The carbon Living Hinge Hi-Back is the same one found on Burton's best high-end bindings from seasons past so you can adjust your forward lean completely independent from your high-back rotation for a fit that's all your own. Remember that unlike the traditional C60 binding, the C60 EST is developed exclusively for Burton snowboards with The Channel binding interface built in to the snowboard. Be sure that you pair this binding with The Channel system.

Excellent for lighter or compact expert freeriders, Salomon's STH 14 B100 ski binding offers the same exceptional performance features found in the STH 16 series, but it doesn't have the stratospheric DIN range. That's okay if you weigh less than 200 lbs. or you don't need the extra tension. Salomon recently reinforced their freestyle bindings with metallic reinforced heels and toe units, but kept the same articulated tracks and big-air stomp pedals. If you need the executive summary: The STH 14 B100 remains one of the strongest and lightest binding designs ever created for wide-waist skis. That means more frequent flyer time and no moments wasted on fiddling with flimsy components that were never designed to withstand the impacts of extreme landings. The STH 14 B100 sports Salomon's High Lateral performance transmission with precise, Micro Simultaneous wing adjustments. The diagonal pivot release system is critical for freestyle skiers who sometimes get moves so wrong that they need to bail safely at all angles. Keep in mind that the brake bar width on this binding is 100 millimeters. If you have a wider-waist freestyle powder plank, you might need to consider one of Salomon's STH series bindings equipped with a wider brake bar.

With updated toe piece the Marker Duke 16 Ski Binding is a big-mountain freeskiing binding with alpine touring capabilities. Designed for the skier who wants to be able to ascend in the back country, yet still jump cliffs and ski varied conditions during the descent. Designed from the ground-up for the modern free-rider, the Duke has all of the know-how and ski performance experience garnered by Marker over more than 50 years with the additional hiking mode desired by the back country skier. Unlike the competition, we did not take a touring binding and design a "freeride" marketing plan. Marker developed a 16 DIN freeride binding and added a touring feature. Features like an easily adjustable locking lever and two-position walking aid are standard on the Duke, and Marker has also built the binding first with the power transmission and direct power transfer required to turn the most extreme couloir into a walk in the park.

Utilizing the toe and heel components from the award-winning Jester and Griffon bindings, Marker introduces the Jester Schizo 16 Ski Binding with a 6-16 DIN range.. For the skier who wants to dial in his standing position-either for changing conditions or to go from all-mountain skiing to pipe and park, this new Schizo model delivers the ultimate versatility. Marker has created a new interface that allows the whole binding to move forward 3cm or back 3cm, uniformly, with no need to re-adjust forward pressure. Utilizing the toe and heel components from the award winning Royal Family bindings ensures that no matter where the skier positions the binding, the system delivers the power to the edge and overall skiing characteristics that the Royal Family bindings are known for.

When it comes to responsive all-terrain freestyle bindings, the Burton C60 tops the chart for near-instantaneous energy transfer between your leg muscles and your snowboard edges. Anything faster would have to be synaptic--and until cyborg implants transform the snowboard scene, the C60 is the best you'll find. Because the C60 doesn't have the EST baseplate for The Channel binding interface found on some of this season's Burton snowboards, you enjoy a bit more rigidity (just a smidgen) than the Burton C60 EST binding. This additional response won't be noticeable unless you're very specific and particular about your snowboard setup. The C60 features Burton's new Cored Ultrastrap Air. It's a high-end ankle strap that was hollowed out and filled with encapsulated air padding to minimize weight and (more importantly) improve response. What we like is the comfort on the Cored Ultrastrap Air. Tighten it up if you need to feel it's there, but this is the sort of performance binding that when sized and adjusted, you can easily wear all day without enduring excess foot fatigue. The carbon Living Hinge Hi-Back is the same one found on Burton's best high-end bindings from seasons past so you can adjust your forward lean completely independent from your high-back rotation for a fit that's all your own. If performance and customization options matter most, but you're always ready to enjoy a few extra comfort features, the Burton C60 binding should be at the top of this season's shopping list.

When it comes to high-end freeriding in remote terrain, the Burton CO2 EST should have the top spot on your preflight checklist. It's durable and it offers infinite adjustment settings, but most of all it's incredibly lightweight when you consider how many features Burton loaded into this freeride masterpiece. This version of the CO2 has an EST designation that means it is specifically designed for new Burton snowboards with the versatile Channel binding interface feature. It has a rugged 50:50 dual component carbon fiber baseplate that enhances your mobility. This special EST baseplate allows for infinite stance configurations through The Channel interface on Burton's newest snowboards, but the key aspect of the CO2 EST baseplate is that it accomplishes this without compromising the edge-to-edge power transmission from your feet to your snowboard. The CO2 EST also features Burton's new Cored Ultrastrap Air. It's a high-end ankle strap that was hollowed out and filled with encapsulated air padding to minimize weight and (more importantly) improve response. What we like is the comfort on the Cored Ultrastrap Air. Tighten it up if you need to feel it's there, but this is the sort of performance binding that when sized and adjusted, you can easily wear all day without enduring excess foot fatigue. Again--remember that unlike the traditional CO2 binding, this CO2 EST is developed exclusively for Burton snowboards with The Channel binding interface built in to the snowboard. Be sure that you pair this binding with The Channel system. If your Burton board doesn't have The Channel, the standard CO2 freeride binding is worth checking out--it still offers new improvements and refinements over last year's model.

The perfect balance between innovative design and lightweight technology, the engineers at Dynafit have developed a binding that has revolutionized backcountry skiing. The Dynafit TLT Vertical ST Bindings without Brakes are dependable, reliable, strong and superlight. For the skier in need of excellent rotation control, stopping power, and adjustable DIN tension, the TLT Vertical ST Bindings are the ticket. Designed with brake and crampon compatibility (both sold separately), the TLT Vertical ST Bindings are ready to hit the skin tracks and the powder fields.
