Award Winning Dynafit Mod

Backcountry skiing boot.

It’s no secret that the red “volcano” heel lifter on the 2005/2006 model Dynafit Comfort backcountry skiing binding occasionally breaks, and is a bit low for some hard-core skinners.

This guy gets the mod of the month award for figuring out an easy fix.

After looking at this mod, it’s obvious that if you break your red heel lifters, a trip to your local hardware store might yield better replacements rather than waiting for for the mailman.

Take care with adding extra height to the lifter, however, as doing so may create excessive leverage on the heel unit while twisting the lifter with your ski pole and while climbing with the lifter at full height.

Also, bear in mind the fact that a small amount of heel lift height increase makes a big difference in climbing ergonomics.
