This binding is a great entry into touring for someone who only wants to own one set of skis. I mainly use it inbounds on a variety of terrain, including deep powder, fresh groomers, bumps, and everything in between. It transfers power very well, almost as well as dedicated alpine bindings, and it's much lighter than practically all alpine bindings. If you occasionally tour or are considering getting into it, it's light enough not to be a burden uphill, and the usability is fantastic. In deep, sticky snow, they're a breeze to get in and out of, too, just be careful not to kick the toe piece into tour mode on accident before stepping in.
Ideal for
- Do it all
- Shredding inbounds
- Slaying powder
Not ideal for
- Finicky adjustments (have a professional do this)
- Difficult installation (have a professional do this)
- Heavier than dedicated touring bindings
The Salomon S/lab Shift MNC Ski Bindings are at the cutting edge of ski touring. These allow intermediate and advanced backcountry or hybrid skiers to get the feel and performance of an inbounds binding with the ease of touring of a pin binding.
Key Features:
- Dual Mode Toe Piece – The Toe piece (compatible with most boot soles) shifts from a standard downhill toe into a standard pin tech toe for uphill traveling.
- Lateral Elasticity – The perk of a standard toe is that you get a lot of lateral elasticity (47mm here). This provides great power transfer.
- Alpine Heel – With the flip of a switch, this binding also has a traditional alpine heel piece for strong downhill performance.
- 6–13 Release Values – This binding caters best to intermediate and advanced skiers due to its higher release range.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Edward! Going in to buying skis I had no idea what to look for and super anxious about finding the perfect skis. He gave me great recommendations and guided me every step of the way. Super attentive and overall a great resource! If you are paired with Edward you’re in great hands! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Edward for everything! You truly made the experience amazing for me from offering recommendations, answering questions, and supporting me throughout the process! You’re the best!!!

This guy will answer as many questions as you can throw his way- even if you ask the same question 5 different ways. NEVER felt like he got annoyed with me. Super knowledgeable and if he didn't know the exact right answer he said he'd find out and did quickly. I don't expect anyone to know everything, and I respect when someone can admit it and know where to find it. I'm still asking him questions even after my purchase lolHighly Recommended!!! Thanks Brenden.

Josh helped me figure out exactly what it is that I needed. Ive been a skateboarder for 20+ years and he has helped me transition to snowboarding by guiding me into the direction that most fits a person with heavy skateboarding background. He explained the gear and everything. He listened to my story and helped me define a setup from just that information.

I am truly grateful for the time Daniela spent taking care of my many questions as I decided on equipment for skiing. There are so many measurements to deal with (Daniela mentioned ones I didn’t even know I needed to know) it was frustrating. She held my hand, and I’m confident I have something for my skill level. There are settings I know I will need some pro help on like DIN settings. I’m looking forward to hitting the slopes with my new gear. Thanks Daniela!

Jarom was responsive and understanding. He made sure he understood what I was looking for, and helped explain what he thought would be a good fit. When I approached him with another Ski, he was quick to assure me that it was a good ski, but also why he thought the one he chose would be a better fit. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Dave was FANTASTIC!
5 /5
I was in the market for a new snowboard and bindings for the 2024 season. I have had the same set up for about 10 years now and was ready to invest in a solid set up. I filled out the Curated questionnaire and was lucky to land Dave as my Curated expert. I chatted it up with Dave on what I like to do on the mountains and within 20 min I received his recommended line up of boards and bindings. Dave took the time to provide a detailed description for each board/bindings along with a personalize video as well which was so cool! Literally feel like I’m friends with the guy now, ha! I ended up going with the T. Rice Pro with the Union Falcor bindings. PUMPED for the 2024 season to rip it on my new setup! Dave is the man 🤙🏼

Hayden was super helpful
5 /5
I came onto this website not sure what to expect, and I'm walking away with a new pair of skis and bindings that I am confident will work great for me. Hayden was super knowledgable on the many types of skis and helped me with the many many questions I had for him. He was also super fun and light hearted which made my buying experience that much better. I will definitely be recommending Hayden and this website to others looking to buy skis, and will appreciate all he did for me :)
