The Curated Take
By the Expert Community
This binding is a great fit for any intermediate to advanced skier. It fits a wide range of boots so folks with a one boot quiver and multiple skis can use an AT or Gripwalk or DIN boot for all their needs.
Its wide adjustability also comes with top of the line durability and holds up to skiing hard bell to bell day in day out.
All of my alpine skis have a pair of these on them because of their versatility and durability. One of the downsides unlike other MNC bindings there isn't an uphill option for touring versatility. The other minor quip is that with AT boot soles it can be difficult to step in for some people. Once you're in you're setup for great downhill performance and power transfer.
Ideal for
- Any in-bounds skiing
- Fits almost all of the boot standards on the market
- Great power transfer from ski to boot
Not ideal for
- This has no uphill touring capability
- Can be hard to step into with some AT boots
- Toepiece has to be precisely adjusted for individual boot unlike DIN bindings
The Marker Griffon 13 ID Ski Bindings are an excellent option for intermediate to advanced skiers looking for reliable performance in a downhill binding. The Griffons were first introduced in 2008 and this year's version improves on one of the top-selling downhill bindings of all time. They are designed to be compatible with most ski boots, prevent injuries, and efficiently transfer energy to skis. They are available in multiple colors to customize that perfect ski setup.
Key Features:
- Sole.ID – Height adjustable binding plates are compatible with ISO 5355 alpine, ISO 9523 touring, and GripWalk soles. With one pozi screw, it is easy to adjust.
- Anti-Friction Device (AFD) Gliding Plate – A moveable AFD helps guarantee a precise release point. The plate can be individually adjusted for racing.
- Anti-Ice Rail – This new feature is mounted to the top of the toe piece, making it easy to remove snow and ice from the bottom of ski boots.
- Inter Pivot 3 Freeride Heel – The newest generation of the Griffon heel piece has been completely redone to combine easier step-in comfort with better power transmission and knee-saving safety factors.

I pick this binding for every new ski I have purchased. Marker have made this model forever, and it is the baseline for price to performance among bindings. What you are getting is an extremely reliable and dependable product with great skiing characteristics. It isn't flashy. It won't get you any looks on the mountain. It's just going to work...

I've owned Marker Griffons on a couple of pairs of my skis, for a few years now. I've found them durable, reliable and extremely dependable on both my Blizzard Brahmas and my Blizzard Rustler 9s. On the few occasions when I've needed the binding to release, it has. But equally importantly for an aggressive mogul skier, the binding has... Read more

What is the 'Anti-Ice Rail' for and how often would I use it?
The anti-ice rail on Marker bindings is a metal rail that runs across the top of the toe piece of the binding. The rail is used to knock snow and ice off the sole of your boot to ensure you are locked into the binding correctly. Once you start using it you’ll notice you use it pretty often to clean the soles of your boots.Answered by:

Ski ExpertWhat does the 'Anti-Friction Device' do, and why is it important?
The Anti-Friction Device, often referred to as the AFD, is a part of the toe piece that touches the bottom of your ski boot. It's a very important part of your ski binding that needs to be in perfect working condition to reduce the risk of injury. Like it's name implies, it reduces the friction between your ski boot and your ski binding so that when you're boot eject laterally from the toe piece, there's no drag on your feet that could compromise a clean release.Answered by:

Ski ExpertWill these ski bindings fit any kind of ski boots?
The Marker Griffon will take any ski boot within the majorly accepted norms thanks to SOLE ID. The are 3 standard ski boot soles norms: ISO 5355 (alpine boots), ISO 23223 (Gripwalk boots), and ISO 9523 (touring boots). It's able to accommodate these different styles of boot soles with the height-adjustable gliding plate that your ski technician will adjust appropriately for you when getting these mounted to your skis.Answered by:

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!
