Hi,

I bought a Petzl 8007 in Grenoble, France, in autumn 1987. At this time I had the choice between the metal plate and the plastic plate version. I was told that the metal plate version was the version of the prior year and the plastic plate version was the new model. Therefore I guess that the last production year of the metal plate version was 1985 or 1986.
I chose the metal plate version as it looked more solid and was some French francs cheaper. I still use the metal parts today, they are undestroyable.

Hi Lou,

I was recently handed a pair of Sk ALP 8007 bindings. I did a little research and wound up on your page. It says you are looking for a pair for your museum.
I live in Grand Junction and can probably deliver them to Carbondale next time I come up that way.

Let me know if you are still interested. These are white and in very good condition.

Spring cleaning my garage and wondering what to do with my original black Petzl 8007’s so I googled. Dick Jackson gave the Aspen Mtn. Patrol a few pair to road test back in the day and I still have a pair with very low miles. Just stripped them off some old powder ski’s. Let me know if your interested.

Leave your business guilt at the door when you visit Wildsnow.com. We’re evil capitalists! What’s the ebay link?

I upgraded my petzl/skapl’s so an excellent pair is up on ebay right now. They are mint. Think I got them about 8-10 years ago from Aspen Expeditions. They are the last model year I guess. Feeling guilty about being a salesman! But someone might really be looking for a pair in mint condition. Are mounted to skiis, includes brakes, crampons, skins. If someone wants these and they think I’m asking too much, let me know.
