Who would love these
The Shift is perfect for skiers who want a binding that they can ski in the resort and has the same releasability as a downhill binding, but also allows for uphill hiking for skiers wanting to get into the backcountry too. It does require boots with tech inserts, however.
Why I recommend these
Perfect for resort and backcountry
Incredibly lightweight and durable
Superior confidence on downhill
Efficient uphill touring
Expert verdict
The Salomon Shift single-handedly changes how skiers approach resort skiing and backcountry skiing. In days of yore, skiers wishing to ski both types of terrain needed two different ski setups, but with the Shift, that's no longer the case. The Shift ingeniously transitions from a downhill mode that skis with the same confidence as any resort binding to a pin/tech-capable binding that can tour uphill as well. Skiers no longer need one set of skis for the resort and another set for the backcountry; the Shift fills both roles effortlessly. Keep in mind, the Shift does require boots with tech inserts in the toes to properly function on the uphill, so hybrid boots are required. And if you are looking for a dedicated touring binding, there are many lighter, better options than the Shift. But for skiers wanting one ski setup that can tackle both the rigors of resort skiing and allow for uphill travel, the Shift is a game-changer.

The Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Ski Bindings are the perfect choice for skiers who want to take their freeride capabilities to the next level.

With these bindings, you can push your skiing and explore new boundaries on the mountain.
Key Features:

- Multi-Norm Certified (MNC): Compatible with all boot sole norms - DIN, Touring and Walk To Ride (WTR) - without requiring any adjustment whatsoever.
- Lightweight Construction: Despite its advanced features and capabilities, this binding is surprisingly lightweight. You won't feel weighed down or fatigued during long days on the mountain.

Aharoni Zisling tested this product
Ideal for resort skiers looking to go out of bounds or enjoy some uphill travel. Here Salomon delivers top downhill performance with great and easy uphill mode. This is a fully certified downhill binding as good as you will find on any set of skis, yet you can easily transition to use it uphill or for touring purposes.
Ideal for
- Outstanding uphill and downhill performance
- Great for anyone with a DIN setting over 7
- Skiers north of 180 lbs that often need a 13 DIN binding
Not ideal for
- There are lighter touring bindings, but not with the same downhill capability

The Salomon S/Lab Shift Bindings are a great backcountry binding option for anyone who feels like they will spend the majority of their season at the resort, or for backcountry skiers who want to prioritize the downhill experience. This is because they are a bit heavier than pin bindings that are found on other backcountry setups. The biggest advantage of... Read more
Ideal for

My girlfriend and I recently tried out the Salmon Shift MNC 13 bindings on her Elan Ripsticks 102 skis and we were both really impressed with their performance. The power transfer was excellent, allowing her to really lean into her turns and feel confident on the mountain.
One of the standout features of these bindings was their ability to handle steep,... Read more

Steer away from this one
Originally posted at www.salomon.com on May 19, 2024I would not recommend these bindings to anyone who is serious when it comes to alpine skiing and big mountain skiing.
I’ve ridden these for a quarter of a season, they have been used maybe 6 times and every single time the walk function with the breaks fall of the rail, and it’s not very fun being in the mountain on the good days realising that you have a faulty binding and you need to dismount the whole thing to get the walk function/snow break back on again to have it fall off mid of the trip….
Will ask for a refund or to get another set of bindings that is not the shift!

Work really well for both touring and downhill
Originally posted at www.salomon.com on Jan 13, 2024No noticeable difference with downhill binding - bit fiddly when switching to and from touring but otherwise no noticeable difference to touring bindings great product without any compromise in performance. Obviously heavier than pure touring but for what I want they are perfect

5 /5
I said I wanted a setup on a budget, I'm in collage and work full time so It's not like I am going to be on the mountain every week. Tired of renting gear. Tyler didn't try to upsell me, at least it didn't feel like it. The board I came to him with he mentioned my toe would be over the edge of the board because it was narrow, thankfully he caught that, but he gave me some other options that were around the same price (actually cheaper) and would work with my boot size!

Ethan was extremely helpful and made shopping for skis easy. I wasn’t quite sure what skis I needed, but after a quick survey, he had the best options for me. He even made a quick video explaining each ski and why it would be the best for me. I always feel like salesman always try and sell you the most expensive products and don’t necessarily listen to you, but that is not the case at all! He found exactly what I needed in my price range! Highly recommend.

Taylor is THE best!
5 /5
Taylor remained with me throughout the entire shopping process. I first started chatting with her last year when I became more interested in snowboarding and was in the gathering information stage. She was more than helpful and recommended certain products that aligned with my ride style as well as experience. She was quick to respond and had great insight of every product that she recommended to me. Simply put, I probably wouldn't have purchased the products I did without her guidance. I can't wait to use my new products out on the slopes. Thank you, Taylor!!!

5 /5
When I first found Curated and entered my details and was contacted by a sales rep, I was hesitant as I didn't want to have to deal with some pushy sales person. Well, my experience the complete opposite to any typical engagement with a sales person. Sarah was never pushy, always accommodating, happy to answer any questions and just generally a great person to speak with. I would highly recommend her to any snowboarder looking for new gear or even just great advice.
