Baldy. Just doing some online searching to decide if current opinion says they're safe or not. It seems a lot nicer to skin up the bowl vs carrying my alpine skis.

Taught me a lesson. I now "test" bindings very carefully. One of the worst falls I ever had was taken due to a pre-release while testing this binding. Taught me a lesson.

They routinely get mounted on soft $3 Goodwill skis I use along the sand dunes of Lake Michigan. Paid $100 for them when I was a student at Univeristy Of Utah. Despite owning them for 20 years I still feel riped off. Wacky design with great machined parts mixed in with cheap hardware. I got so tired of prereleasing I mounted the plate permitately to the ski. Everytime I look at the design I can't help but think of the engineer on the Simpsons who over designs everything and it always blows up. Currently used a modern set up when out west, the new stuff works so nice. Wendell G. Still have a pair today.
