Salomon MTN Summit

No, this binding is specifically designed for tech-compatible touring boots with pin inserts. It will not work with standard alpine boots or boots that lack the necessary tech fittings.

At 395 grams, the MTN Summit is quite lightweight, making it an excellent choice for long backcountry ascents where saving energy is a priority. It strikes a strong balance between being light enough for big days and robust enough for aggressive downhill skiing.

Yes, the brake assembly is removable. This is a great feature if you prefer using a leash system or simply want to shed a little extra weight for specific touring objectives.

The DIN range is 6-12, which covers a wide spectrum of intermediate to expert skiers. It is designed for those who prioritize uphill efficiency but still need a reliable, secure connection for demanding descents.

Yes, this is a drill-required binding. You will need to have it professionally mounted by a ski technician to ensure the hole pattern matches your skis and the binding is set up correctly for your boot sole length.

The climbing aids are built into the heel piece and can be easily flipped into position with your pole while you are still in the binding. They provide different height options to help reduce calf strain and maintain a more natural stride on steep skin tracks.
