I need to get some new bindings for this year. i plan on doing some light touring with the setup I get, but mostly on pist. Like 90% trails I would say.
The two option I have considered are another pair of Axial(I really like them). I know these will handle great for the trail days. With the axials get a pair of Alpine trekkers and bring them with me on the days that I plan to ski away from the mountain. From what i have read these will work well for what I want to do with them.(Not true touring, but some skinning.)
The other option I ave is the new Marker Duke. A real tough version of a AT binding. Too heavy for true touring, but much stronger. This option would save me from having to carry the trekkers in my pack and having to install/uninstall them. My only concern is if they will hold up to all the trail skiing. They seem pretty strong, and from what i have read they are strong, but......
I know the axial will be awesome for everything, have had a few pairs. The Trekkers will be good for the light AT trips, and be transferable between skis, But require packing them around and cost me more. The markers will save weight and be cool, but are they strong enough?
Price wise the Markers would most likely be a cheaper route. I don't know specifics but I'm guessing much cheaper
