76. The Safety Of Backcountry Ski Bindings (feat. Simon Weiler and Martin Volken of Fritschi)
Manage episode 448483545 series 3604867
On this episode of the Legaski Podcast, I’m stoked to chat with Martin Volken, owner of Pro Ski and Mountain Service, and Simon Weiler from Fritschi, a Swiss company that’s been designing ski touring bindings for over 60 years.
We dive into what makes Fritschi bindings stand out from the competition—especially their focus on safety and performance. From the Tecton, which skis like an alpine binding but works for backcountry, to the ultra-light Xenic, we talk about which bindings are the best fit for your style of skiing.
Whether you’re hitting big mountain lines or logging uphill laps, Martin and Simon give incredible insights into how to pick the right bindings and why Fritschi’s Swiss-made precision is something every backcountry skier should consider.
If you’re into backcountry skiing or just love talking gear, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
