Sneak Peek: Marker Alpinist Binding - VIDEO

Marker recently launched their long awaited full tech binding, called the Alpinist, in Italy last month and Backcountry Skiing Canada was fortunate enough to be there. We’ve already posted a few videos, photos and information about the Alpinist so the hands on experience we got in Denver at the recent Winter Outdoor Retailer Show was simply an encore. Rather that reiterate everything again I’ll direct you to those posts and just say that we’re super excited to get a pair of Alpininsts in the coming weeks for testing, so stay tuned for a full review. As I mentioned, Backcountry Skiing Canada got a sneak peek of the new Alpinist Bindings in Courmayeur, Italy about a month ago, and we prepared this post about it, so be sure to give it a read.


If you’re looking for a video overview from that launch event in Courmayeur then check out this post here. 

To get an insight into how the Alpinist performs on snow and our initial thought after one of our writers got to ski them give a read of this post.

And of course Marker still has their Kingpin bindings, for those looking for a beefier binding with a full release heel, you can read our review of that binding here.
