Newschoolers' Quick Review:
Enter the Shift. Pins for up and a normal toe for the way down. Sounds like a perfect, solution but could it be done? I pushed them hard inbounds, using alpine boots. I found I could carve as hard as I wanted, ski the worst beaten up pow and even spent a full day in the park with basically no issues. In the park they rode basically as well as any other binding. SHIFT did not have the lack of damping that a Kingpin can have and basically they felt like any other alpine binding. - Tom Pietrowski
