I've been telemark skiing for 45 years and the last 15 have been on Switchbacks. Once I discovered them, I couldn't go back to anything else. The efficiency gained in uphill mode combined with the stability in downhill mode make them my only choice for touring. I have put in somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 days on my original pair and have a new pair sitting on the bench waiting for the right pair of skis. They are simple and bombproof. I'm looking forward to another 15 years of Switchbacking!

I ski primarily these, 22D Vice, and Bishops. While I like them all the Switchback is usually my preference. It is neutral enough to let you decide how you want to style your turn,while lively enough to ski anything you want. Simple, light, effective. Also had less trouble with these than any other binding I've skied.

If you love the sweet flex of a 75mm tele binding paired with the comfort of a softer flexing duckbill boot, this is the binding for you. Lightweight (for a tele binding), durable and reliable. Perfect for long days in the backcountry searching for hero pow! I love this binding!!

I've generally given up on telemark. Alpine is so easy! And has such a great calibrated release system. Like a sheep, I go with freeride downhill gear at the resort. Tele on hardpack is kinda uninspiring anyhow. \n And tech bindings have that nice combo of light weight, free pivot, easy skiing, and calibrated safety release, so a favorite for high angle more consequential backcountry skiing. \nHowever these Switchbacks along with fishscale base Vector BC skis have a place. The set up to use for lower angled backcountry trips, mixed terrain, and for complex exits from a peak. You get great maneuverability, up, down and around, and strong tele turns to cut through deep and heavy snows. The Switchbacks are reasonably light, nearly foolproof free pivot for easy trail breaking, and long lasting. I can't think of a better choice for the purpose.

Thank you, Voile, for still producing fine telemark bindings! I have ridden many bindings in my years of telemarking, and I'm a Switchback fan!\n The Switchback gives me the confidence to ski worry-free and to go as far as I want. I appreciate it's simplicity and durability. Keep on keeping it real Voile!
