Article Summary:

When you consider that a conventional cable telemark binding averages about 600 g (21 oz) per ski, and that the typical free-hinge (pivoting) telemark binding averages about 800 g (28 oz) per ski, and that the typical Dynafit alpine touring ("AT" or "randonee") binding averages about 400 g (14 oz) per ski, then you start to get some perspective about my excitement for the Dynafit Low-Tech Race Binding, which will cost you only 160 g (5.6 oz) per ski.
