So you'd be into alpine touring but not so into buying new skis and new bindings for it? MFD has come up with an easy system for making your current alpine ski and Rossignol/Look binding set up work for comfortable touring as well as for stable downhill skiing at the resort. With a single motion of your ski pole, you can switch easily between locked alpine skiing mode, and 0, 6, and 14 degree inclines depending on whether you're heading downhill or hiking up varyingly steep slopes.

Unlike other alpine touring binding systems, the MFD plates are torsionally stiff, positioned low against the ski, and solidly attached with a wide base for a strong connection that feels secure not just in deep backcountry powder, but also on hard carving groomers in bounds. Beyond that, a heel spring allows the ski to flex normally, unhindered by the binding, eliminating the common complaint about AT set-ups of a dead spot in the flex of the ski. The MFD ALLTIME Rossignol/Look System is compatible with Rossignol FKS 140, 180, 155, 185, and with Look Pivot 14, 18 (turntable style) bindings. Made in the USA, the system comes with a mounting template so you can set it up yourself if you're feeling extra savvy. Otherwise there's no shame in making sure the project gets done right by bringing it in to the Experts at Jans or to your local ski shop.
