Replying to Daymakers or Salomon Shift?
Finally bought me some pow skis (ARV 116 JJ) and have been on the lookout for the right bindings. I plan on buying them from the ski shop I bought the skis from so I can get them mounted/tuned for free. Since I plan on getting out in the backcountry this season, I’d like to get something that would allow me to skin around if I wanted to. I don’t plan on making this my pure backcountry set up though as I’m mostly a resort shredder.
I’m caught between getting one of the following alpine bindings with a pair of daymakers:
Tyrolia Attack 13
Marker Griffon
Look Pivot (not sure if adapter would work for this)
Or I was also told about the new Salomon Shift which has an alpine friendly toe piece but is also equipped with a heel release system that would allow me to skin around in the backcountry. I know I’d be spending roughly the same amount of money with whichever route I take, and although I don’t know a whole lot about the Salomon Shift it would definitely be a lighter option than having adapters. Performance and durability are definitely huge factors at play here, just thought I’d get some opinions from anyone who is knowledgeable about bindings or skis a nice balance of resort/backcountry. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
