I’ve now got these on three of my skis. They’re doing great. Entry is pretty easy, not really too much to get used to. I definitely need to flip the lever up to climb mode when climbing. Haven’t had a pre-release on the 7-10 spring, but haven’t really pushed them hard. These’ll be my go-to binding for any dedicated b/c setup.
Only thing I’d change is to have some kind of wedge in the heel to clear snow from under boot heel when in flat mode. Does pack up when in fresh snow and in flat mode.

Review for the new metal Power Hooks. Helped a ton for my situation with tails without skin hook notches- but better grip/friction and things are staying put better. Also, much better peace-of-mind knowing these won’t arbitrarily break at some point.
Note that they do take up a little more length of the tail strap than the plastic hooks, so if you’re already at the end of yours, these might not fit.

These are the only ski socks I'll wear anymore. Good compression, blister prevention and very durable. I'm big on thin socks, and any other brands end up being to saggy over time and/or not enough slippy slidey. I've really only used one single pair for the past 50+ days of skiing, including multiday tours, bc, and on-mtn. I have a pair of their more cushioned touring socks, but the fill up too much space.

So sorry, I asked my question poorly- I'm wanting to know the width of the holes that mount the plate to the ski, not the width of the binding holes into the plate track. Wanting to see if they're wide enough for the Volkl H mount pattern. Thanks!

Hey guys, what's the binding hole width on the Race Heel Plate? Thanks!
