Marker Alpinist 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings 2026

The Marker Alpinist 10 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are perfect for almost anyone on the skin track. They're definitely ultralight bindings, and most people would place them squarely on the "uphill" side of the inevitable uphill vs. downhill touring spectrum. But don't think of them as some specialized tool for only skimo racers. To be fair, something like 90 percent of your backcountry day is on the uphill side too. And for that majority of the day, these bindings will have you smiling and gliding your way along the skin track. On the way down, the Alpinist 10 is a sturdy and reliable performer, and your legs will be too, with plenty of gas left in the tank from their eased burden on the ascent.
