My letter to nominate Knox for membership in the ski hall of fame is going out today. He has done so much for the Colorado ski industry and should be recognized for it.

I’m sending my “second” for Knox’s nomination in now. He, and the important organizations and work he’s been involved in, deserve recognition in the Hall of Fame.

Tim, yeah, I should have mentioned the now legendary Dynafit boot/ski solid connection. The binding has okay anti-shock in lateral release, but not much in vertical. Therein lies the caveat for use as a full-on bump bashin’ resort binding.

I’ve also got the scoop on the DIN 12 Dynafit. It was difficult to develop but will be out next season. That said, I just hope people who use it have DIN 12 knees. More, one has to wonder how the Dynafit boot fittings will hold up repeated DIN 12 yanks… testing will tell the tale.

Lou,

I was just about to ask for your updated thoughts on this very subject. I ski my AT setup (Dynafit Comfort) at the resort when I am with the family, and slow down, but only a bit. The Dynafit works just fine for high speed carving on smooth surfaces, and I much prefer it to the Fritschi for this.

What the Comfort does not like, is ruts and choppy surfaces at speed; no anitshock!

Also, have you heard anything about a 12 DIN Dynafit?
