    AT binding for newbie

      AT binding for newbie

      So I need to buy a new setup because some jerk stole my old one. I want to get into BC skiing and want one setup to do both BC and resort. Ive decided I want AT bindings over dynafit because I'm not sure how much BC I will be doing off the bat, mayber <50%. 


      First question, how much does the stand height of AT bindings effect the skiing, is it noticable?


      I'm looking at the Tyrolia 13/16 adrenaline(my last bindings were the PX12's and I would push those as hard as I could with no problem so would the Tyrolia 16 be over kill?) or the Fritschi Diamir Eagle 12. 

      I like these both because they have 3 skiable elevations while walking and they both can switch from walk to ski without taking the bindings off.

      Does anyone have experience with these, and/or any recommendations for a newbie?

      Tyrolia is a good binding manufacturer but don't put Marker off your list. The F10 and F12 are beefy bindings that weigh less than the Fritchi's and can take more abuse. Have a look over here and here for those reviews.

      Is it annoying to have to uncle from your binding in order to switch from ski to walk mode with the marker bindings?
