But I might put one together... Following is how it's done: 1. You can't be using ski brakes. 2. Lock toe latch. 3. Either pull boot and ski up off the snow towards your butt, or pull up on your boot heel as the ski is resting on the snow. 4. Rotate binding heel unit until your boot heel pops up and out. Applying a certain amount of upward force on the boot or downward force on the ski is the key. You can rotate the binding by just using your ski pole tip as usual, or with the ski up near your butt, it sometimes works well to insert your pole grip between boot heel and binding heel lift, and rotate the heel by moving the pole grip.

Do you have a video (or can you make one) on how to do the transition from ski mode to tour mode trick? I’ve watched Andrew’s, but he does it so fast it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on.

Most often, the best method is to always use your right hand ski pole. Just thought I’d mention that the part where I show how to rotate the heel unit for heel lift selection isn’t quite right.
