No longer contained within groomed runs, we outfit our sticks with the Marker Squire 11 Ski Binding for reliable performance as we venture into natural terrain. The anti-friction device delivers release precision, even if the mountain coats it in ice and muck. With a wider heel, this binding lets us click in without having to slam our heel down with full force, and the height-adjustable gliding plate accommodates our boot's GripWalk sole while still providing ample feedback on the descent.
