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. These bindings combine the touring efficiency of a pin (low-tech) binding with the performance of an alpine freeride binding, making them a truly compromise-free option. With these bindings, you can push your skiing and explore new boundaries on the mountain.

Key Features:

  • Revolutionary Design: Game-changer in ski binding design. It offers unprecedented versatility and performance, making it ideal for skiers who demand nothing but the best.
  • Touring Efficiency: Thanks to its low-tech pin design, this binding is incredibly efficient when touring uphill. You'll be able to conserve energy and enjoy longer tours without feeling weighed down.
  • Alpine Performance: When it's time to descend, these bindings offer exceptional power transfer and control. You'll be able to carve turns with precision and confidence, even in challenging terrain.
  • 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

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,...

Steer away from this one

Originally posted at www.salomon.com on May 19, 2024
I 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, 2024
No 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

Vince was so caring and helpful, I am a skier and my partner is a snowboarder and her board and all her gear recently got stolen. I decided to surprise her with a new set of gear, but had no idea what I was looking at! Vince made it easy to understand, and for that I am so so grateful. Feeling glad I chose Curated!

This is a new business model for me: personal expert guiding me through an expensive purchase. I was a little worried this was AI or at least someone who wanted me to spend max money. However, Christian was not pushy, sent me a lot of info when I asked questions, and guided me towards the best items in my budget. I’d definitely recommend Curated.

First time I ever used Curated and I got paired with a stand-up guy (Jared), he helped me through the process of picking a new board - I've been hesitant to pull the plug on a new one but he got me a great deal and gave me the best options that fit my needs on the mountain. Total bro, 100% recommend - made my curated experience easy and stress free.
