Hey Big Foot, here are your new alpine touring bindings. Fritschi Diamir Freeride Pro Bindings with extra large brakes (120 mm), in size long, for skiers with a US men's shoe size of 12-13 or a boot sole of 330-365 mm. The BD's Fritschi Freeride Pros are known for their efficiency uphill and power downhill so you'll feel confident on the steeper parts of the mountain as you slash arcs in the backcountry. These are a logical choice if you only want one pair of skis for resort skiing and backcountry ventures because you can rock them in-bounds or out. The Black Diamond Fritschi Freeride Pro Bindings are compatible with your regular alpine ski boots or with the thicker lug soles of backcountry ski boots, and they have a wide footprint and toe piece hinge that provide better edge to edge power transfer. Heel height transitions are easy with the four-level heel elevator and positions can be changed with the tip of your ski pole without even bending over.
  • Gliding Technology with a wide toe piece hinge
  • Power Transmission Control (PTC) technology
  • Max DIN 12, and DIN certified for both alpine touring and alpine boot soles
  • Free-gliding heel bar with integrated lock prevents accidental release into touring mode
  • Included brake fits up to 120 mm ski width
Expert Review:

"Fritschi says there are three heel lift positions (plus flat,) but I create a fourth by opening the lock to free the binding and then closing the lock before I put my heel back down. The result is about .75 cm of lift which is perfect for the skin into the area where you are going to ski when it gets steeper and you need the heel lifts that were designed into the binding. Because of all the height adjustments, these are the most comfortable binding on the market for the trip uphill. Heading downhill, if you ski the Fritschi Pros on hardpack at the resort, you'll notice the height off the ski, but mine have always felt rock solid in the backcountry."

Industry Review:

Skiing< Magazine Assessment:

The Pro is built on a wide platform for stability and power transmission on bigger skis. It sits high, which creates some play between the binding and the ski in firmer conditions, but testers declared it the easiest to operate of all the bindings here. It's great for a first-time tourer but won't disappoint advanced skiers either.
