Question 1

What does GW mean in bindings?

Accepted Answer

The "GW" on alpine ski bindings indicates compatibility with GripWalk soles , a relatively recent sole that is increasingly common on all-moutain boots and that provides extra traction when walking. Bindings with the GW designation are compatible with ski boots that have either Regular Alpine soles (ISO 5355) or GripWalk Soles.

GW stands for "Grip Walk" in ski bindings. In addition to alpine soles, ski boots that have GripWalk soles are compatible with GW bindings. GripWalk soles have an aggressive sole profile with ridges like hiking boots that provide greater control when walking on slippery ice or deep snow. Most bindings are GW compatible and many more bindings are adopting this route to be able to accept the sole.

The GW in ski bindings stands for GripWalk, a newer model of boot, and it means that the binding is compatible with GripWalk boot soles. GripWalk soles have a better grip on smooth or sloping ground due to the softer and ribbed surfaces located on the bottom of the boot. You can also walk as you would in a street shoe thanks to a raised front plate on the boot as well.
