Inbounds, outbounds…. Armada’s Shift MNC 10 Ski Binding knows no bounds. It’s choice for skiers who’ll ride backcountry before the resort opens and finishes the day off with a few chairlift rides. There are only a few ski bindings like this one that can shift from standard alpine boots to tech-fitted backcountry boots. In fact, it requires tech boots for the skin up, and an alpine toe is necessary for the downhill. Multi Norm Certified, this binding’s toe height adjusts to accommodate standard alpine, WTR, tech, AT, and GripWalk soles. In alpine mode, the Shift provides reliable DIN release ratings as well as a sliding toe pedal with elastic travel to release when necessary, and still retain some rigidity when you’re laying down a fierce line.
