The Salomon Shift 10 is a great option for skiers under 140 pounds or less aggressive skiers in general. The performance of the binding is still there it just has a lower-duty spring in the toe and heel. Having 'less' spring only affects the DIN setting, power transmission is equal between Shift 10 and Shift 13. The Shift2 offers a more user-friendly experience with improved durability in the binding and a less finicky AFD adjustment on the toe. The Shift2 is the best binding for lighter-weight skiers who want a binding that is just as comfortable lapping groomers as it is skinning technical lines in the backcountry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*Not compatible with boots that DO NOT have full toe and heel lugs: i.e Atomic Backlands, Arc'teryx Procline, Dynafit Hoji, Salomon X-Alp...are a few to name.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salomon","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Silver Metallic \/ 90","offer_id":42679793418319,"sku":"46626754018319","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black\/Silver Metallic \/ 100","offer_id":42689712717903,"sku":"46626754117903","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver Metallic \/ 110","offer_id":42689712750671,"sku":"46626754250671","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black\/Silver Metallic \/ 120","offer_id":42689712783439,"sku":"46626754383439","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7046\/0495\/files\/Salomon-N-Shift-MNC-10-Black_1.jpg?v=1742399517"},{"product_id":"salomon-s-lab-shift2-13","title":"Salomon S\/Lab Shift² MN 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Salomon Shift 2 is a new and improved version of the best hybrid AT binding to ever hit the ski world. The major complaints that people had with the previous version of the Shift are solved; the AFD is much less finicky, the heel riser is a bit taller for more efficiency, and the toe piece and brakes are more beefed up. All of these minor tweaks improve the performance on the way down and the way up. For skiers looking to build a one ski quiver for resort and touring love the Shift option. It has all the downhill reliability and power transfer similar to a downhill binding while the pin toe and easy-to-use heel piece make for quick ascents and transitions. The Shift 2 remains the easy answer for touring bindings unless you're a skier that is counting every gram and doesn't worry much about downhill performance. The Shift is more reliable than a true pin binding, more stable, safer, and nearly as effective on the way up.

The newest version of the Shift offers better durability, reliability and performance than the first generation. Power transfer from your boot to the ski is just as good as a true downhill binding and while they weigh a fraction more than a true AT binding, you get the best of both worlds. You get a reliable release setting with a full DIN heel and toe piece. On the way up the binding is smooth, efficient and intuitive to use. A single heel riser helps to make steeper parts of the ascent a breeze. Shift the binding into the downhill setting and you have full confidence on the way down. They're durable, easy to use, light enough to keep weight down, offer awesome suspension and they look sick. What else do you need out of an Alpine touring binding? The Shift has done frame bindings in, with so many of today's ski boots including tech fittings there is no reason to have a framed binding unless you already have one and for some reason don't want to upgrade. The shift is the future, the future is here. This is the best hybrid AT binding on the market. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armada","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 90","offer_id":42722730475599,"sku":"93412551675599","price":679.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 100","offer_id":42722730508367,"sku":"93412551708367","price":679.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 110","offer_id":42722730541135,"sku":"93412551841135","price":679.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 120","offer_id":42722730573903,"sku":"93412551973903","price":679.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7046\/0495\/files\/Armada-Shift-2-13-Black_1.jpg?v=1742391653"},{"product_id":"marker-kingpin-13","title":"Marker Kingpin 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince its introduction the Marker Kingpin has been one of our favorite Alpine Touring bindings on the market, and thanks to some tweaks that were introduced last season, the binding has only gotten better. The improvement comes thanks to a new toe piece that's easier to click into and provides a larger platform and toe stop. What makes the Kingpin so awesome is its lightweight and efficiency on the hike. A pintech toe piece brings the binding pivot point a lot closer to your toes. This allows you to have a natural and efficient stride as you glide uphill. The Kingpin heel stays on the ski with each step, this saves an immense amount of energy over the course of a long tour. It provides all of the touring efficiency and a lightweight build associated with a pintech toe while maintaining a confident and locked in feel on the descent. As far as downhill performance from a pin binding, this is about as good as it gets, but the Kingpin makes the most sense for skiers whose top priority is saving weight and uphill efficiency. If those things aren't as important to you as a downhill performance, you should be looking into hybrid options like a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theskimonster.com\/products\/salomon-s-lab-shift\/\" title=\"Salomon S\/Lab Shift 13\"\u003eSalomon Shift\u003c\/a\u003e. With a Shift, you get a heavier package than a Kingpin, but performance and feeling that's closer to a traditional downhill binding. That said, our test team is always shocked at how \"normal\" a Kingpin feels. In terms of downhill performance, the Kingpin can withstand the highest level of skiing (see Sammy Carlson's Instagram feed), it just lacks a degree of responsiveness and power transfer compared to hybrid or downhill bindings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all of the groundwork laid to create a binding that is incredible to hike in while maintaining downhill performance, the Kingpin is also up to standards in terms of safety. Last year's improvements included high-quality steel springs in the toe to increase skier retention, impact absorption, and ultimately, increase elastic travel. By utilizing a more traditional step-in heel vs. a two-pin style like some other options, the Kingpin provides a lot more contact with the heel of the ski boot. This allows for more consistent release if you happen to fall, better retention while skiing technical terrain, and good power transfer from boot to ski.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marker","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Red \/ 75 - 100","offer_id":42680288706639,"sku":"46626718606639","price":769.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black\/Red \/ 100 - 125","offer_id":42680288739407,"sku":"46626718739407","price":769.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7046\/0495\/files\/Marker-Kingpin_1.jpg?v=1742399314"},{"product_id":"tyrolia-attack-hybrid-14-mn-pt","title":"Tyrolia Attack Hybrid 14 MN\/PT Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2026","description":"","brand":"Tyrolia Ski Bindings","offers":[{"title":"Solid Black\/Gold \/ 95","offer_id":42841428951119,"sku":"49162392651119","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Solid Black\/Gold \/ 110","offer_id":42841428983887,"sku":"49162392783887","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7046\/0495\/files\/Tyrolia-Attack-Hybrid-14_1.jpg?v=1760622981"},{"product_id":"marker-cruise-12","title":"Marker Cruise 12 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2027","description":"","brand":"Marker","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Green \/ 105","offer_id":43242717610063,"sku":"94838356910063","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7046\/0495\/files\/Marker-Cruise-12_1.jpg?v=1758811306"}],"url":"https:\/\/theskimonster.com\/collections\/alpine-touring-ski-bindings.oembed","provider":"THE SKI MONSTER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
