I hope they suck less balls than the STH2's. But I heard you like ball sucking, so there's that.

Looks like there are pins involved (unsurprisingly) https://www.instagram.com/p/BcXW7w3h...salomonfreeski

Interesting, so the toe bumper position is what determines if the toe is on the pins or behind them. Or the arms move forward and back instead.

To be fair to Salomon -- they make about the best frame binding out there. And their first tech binding -- the MTN -- has been getting good reactions for the combo of features and weight.
Of course, this binding is way more out there. But at least they're pushing the envelope.

I bet it's going to be similar to the tecton/vipec heel action, but on the toe and heel. Where the toe has pins for skinning, and then for ski mode a piece slides over the welt and clamps down on it and releases the lock on the pins. Then the pins don't do any of the holding force (though still engaged), just the piece that slides over so it can provide lateral release. Obviously this would only work on boots with a good sized welt (I don't know what the ISO 9523 specs for that are). Anyways complete guess, probably useful rambling, whatever.

Idunno, a binding that duz too many things is usually a fail.

Huge posse of skiers on these up at Alta today. Yesterday they had what looked like an industry demo. I took a quick look at binding, was promptly told no pics. Looks cool. Pins aren't engaged for downhill at all. Lifters looked a bit weird. Didn't really get to see how heel moves. They definitely have potential. I'm only skeptical because I feel like salomon alpine bindings have a short life span. Crew that was skiing them today was definitely trying to ski them hard. I hope they weren't any sponsored athletes cause they sure weren't making it look very good. But I did see 1 guy land a back seat 3 without exploding

Finally, toe pins on wings instead of yoke. Stoked.
