    You aren't going to sell many alpine bindings until you get them certified. If you want boutique bindings look at telemark or AT.

    Harvest skis out of Steamboat has a 122mm waisted ski with a waxless pattern base like Voiles.
    If I ever move back to where it snows, a pair will be on my shop list.

    I believe Harvest is made by Icelantic.
    Sawatch is French for scratchy.

    The Knee bindings have a pretty tall stack.

    Bindings need a ton of testing and safety standards, etc. DIN, for example. Geze is still around in other names--Rossignol bought Look and Geze, and folded the Geze designs in Rossi and Look binders. Rossignol also bought Caber boots and those became Rossi boots, Atomic bought Koflach and those became Atomic boots, etc...

    Bindings and Boots need a big investment. Skis are cheap.

    I met a freeride guy who was riding Meier skis in Snowmass.

    I still ride my Arc Angel 200's as a telewomper daily carver.

    Also Wonder Alpine in SLC. I toured their factory last month, nice setup.
