The importance of choosing the right cross country ski bindingThe type of ski bindings you get can mean the difference between your ski popping off or staying on when shredding moguls or worse yet, your staying on or falling off in a big fall. It can be very dangerous if your ski pops off when you don't want it to (i.e. when doing moguls aggressively) and it can be even more dangerous for your it to not pop off when you do want it to (i.e. catching a root in the woods). If your ski fails to pop of when it is supposed to the worst case injury scenario jumps from a bruise on your hip and a small hike up the mountain to a shattered knee or broken femur with the possibility of never skiing again. So do your research. Determine what type of skiing you will be doing the most and your ability level. Find out which bindings are best for your style and ability level. Get opinions of others in your same style/ability level as well as from well known pro shops. And just so you know, well known pro shops typically are not your local sports store. Pro shops are shops where you will only find skis, snowboards, accessories and nothing else.
