Wanting to build upon this proven platform, Atomic went to work and changed the rocker profile and raw material sourcing for this latest iteration.

Compared to its proven Backland Pure sibling, the Summit 12 features a glass-infused polyamide (PA) construction, rearward travel, and adjustable lateral release.

In a lesser-known novel, “To Nine Summits and Back Again,” written by Atomic Baggins, the story focuses on the plight of a little binding with a big personality, trying to make a name for itself in a big and crowded world.

After a truly historic winter, it appears the Marker Kingpin M-Werks and Alpinist spent a lot of time together, tucked cozily away indoors between bouts of incredible powder skiing. The evidence for this is the Cruise 10 binding, which clearly has 23 chromosomes from each of them. Compared to the Alpinist, the Cruise has two heel risers easily accessible, helping tame even the stee..

Blending the performance of the popular Alpinist and Kingpin M-Werks bindings, the Cruise 12 finds the middle ground between the two. The gapless design with 4mm of length compensation allows the heel piece to move backward in response to ski compression, helping to smooth over variable snow and keep release values consistent. The two riser heights are easily accessible, providing ..

A glove layering system is an often overlooked but highly effective solution to keep your hands warm, dry, and ready to go throughout the day.

Black Diamond certainly thinks this i..
