Who would love these

These bindings are perfect for advanced to expert skiers who enjoy both resort and backcountry adventures. If you love the idea of having one binding that can handle it all, from carving groomers to exploring untouched powder, the Atomic Shift 13 MNC is for you. They're especially great for those who appreciate the convenience of MNC compatibility and a lightweight design for easier uphill travel. However, if you're a larger skier who primarily skis aggressively at resorts, you might want to consider other options.

Expert verdict

The Atomic Shift 13 MNC Ski Bindings are a game-changer for those who love both resort and backcountry skiing. What makes them stand out is their dual-mode capability, allowing you to switch seamlessly between downhill and touring modes. This versatility is perfect for skiers who want one binding to do it all. The MNC compatibility means they work with various boot soles, which is super handy. Plus, they're lightweight, making uphill travel a breeze. However, they might not be the best choice for larger, aggressive skiers who focus solely on resort skiing. Overall, these bindings are a fantastic choice for adventurous skiers who crave flexibility and performance.

The Atomic Shift 13 MNC Ski Bindings are designed to give advanced skiers the freedom to explore the resort or the backcountry. This is the original hybrid binding with the ability to transform from a safe and stable downhill binding into a tech toe binding for touring (hiking to earn turns). These bindings have an easy step-in and automatic wing adjustment to securely hold the boot while skiing. The Atomic Shift 13 MNC allows a skier to have the right tool for the job no matter what adventure is planned for the day.

Key Features:

  • Dual Mode Toepiece: The MNC (multi norm compatible) toepiece for skiing works with a variety of soles, including alpine, grip walk (GW), walk to ride (WTR), and touring. It requires a boot with tech toe for the hiking/touring mode.
  • Freeski Brakes: Self-retracting brakes maintain a close position on the ski, so they don't catch on the snow while skiing.
  • Hike and Ride Switch: The lever at the toe switches between hike and ski mode.
  • DIN Range: The 6-13 DIN range is recommended for advanced to expert level skiers.

Bekah West owns this product
These bindings are an awesome option for skiers who love to take quick tours, but that isn’t their main dedication. Because of their weight, I wouldn’t recommend taking them for a super long tour, although it is doable if you like the extra challenge. These offer a super quality and reliable binding whether you’re in the backcountry or in the... Read more
Ideal for
  • Touring
  • Release reliability
  • Versatility
Not ideal for
  • While the power transfer is still amazing, they aren’t the best on the market
  • Not a lightweight setup for solely backcountry
  • When switching from tour to ski mode, the bindings are very touchy and can at like a mouse trap if bumped .

If you're looking for one do-it-all binding, then the Atomic/Salomon Shift is the only way to go. No other binding on the market offers the same ease of use and versatility as the Shift. Transitioning from the alpine to touring setting is as simple as flipping a tab on the toe piece and locking down the brake. Once in skinning... Read more
Ideal for
  • The best binding for the ultimate one ski quiver
  • Skiers who do 80% of their skiing in-bounds
  • Amazing functionality as a standard alpine binding
Not ideal for
  • By touring standards, it's a heavy binding
  • Fickle toe height adjustment can lead to pre-release issues
  • Only one riser setting when climbing - most AT bindings have two

The Salomon Shift 13 bindings are like an alpine skier’s dream come true. They’re versatile and easy to use, almost like having two sets of bindings in one. When you're charging down the resort's groomed runs, they work just like traditional alpine bindings, delivering a solid connection to your skis and precise control for carving turns. But here's the magic:... Read more
Ideal for
  • Resort and side country skiing
  • Awesome power transfer from boot to ski
  • Uphill resort laps before skiing chairs for the day

  • A little heavy for big backcountry days

The best of both worlds, prone to user error

Originally posted at www.atomic.com on Dec 3, 2024
I love these bindings, both my wife and I have had two sets from two different generations. We experienced the touring tow piece issues once, until I realized that there is a second locking position the lever goes into. Not a single problem since. Have even troubleshot a few other peoples tow piece issues while out on the trail. I think a lot of these so called "experts" don't know how to use their gear.

Amazing binding

Originally posted at www.atomic.com on Apr 13, 2024
I got them for use in jakson and have never been disappointed. I feel the binding has the rigid feel of a alpine binding but is light so it isn't the hard for hiking. Great binding

Tremendous Help
5 /5
Ethan was responsive and very helpful in getting me started with some gear. Having some very limited knowledge in skiing, Ethan was able to provide some great suggestions on narrowing down equipment given my budget and preferred style. He helped me save a ton of time, rather than doing hours of research trying to guess on what would suit me best. With his knowledge I have confidence that I was able to make a smart purchase that I will not regret.

I needed the product quickly and was told it was shipping from Colorado, where I live. However, it turned out to be coming from Obetz, Ohio. John was more focused on making a sale than understanding my needs—he didn’t ask for any of my specifications yet claimed this was the perfect board for me. He then followed up to ensure I placed the order. This experience left me disappointed, and I won’t be returning to Curated or recommending it to others. The way your representatives conduct business reflects on your company.
