What kind of touring binding should I get? Shift is the answer.
The 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. Why wouldn't you go with this binding?
The new Shift2 is a nice improvement over the first version of the binding. It's still light while being more stout and user-friendly. If you're a skier that has one ski for all facets of the mountain this is a great option for the resort and touring.
