Round 6 – Binding Selection, Pick 4
The Radical FT is made for people who want to bring their normal powder skis on backcountry missions, don’t want to lose a shoe on the way down, and enjoy the extra laps you get in because each binding weighs just 600 grams. A beefier version of the popular Vertical FT, the Radical has a carbon plate system that can be stiffened for descents and at 75mm wide, is the best Dynafit binding for wider skis. One of the biggest changes is that the Radical replaces the rotating “volcano” heel piece of the Vertical FT. The Radical’s touring and heel-lift risers flip up with the simple flick of a pole grip.Other Draft Picks By Ryan Dunfee
