I’m on some older (5 yrs) Hagen Cores with brakes. The former is good, the latter not so much so. I’m running them on same age of what I assume are first generation Magicos (got from you folks). Wondering if it’s worth an upgrade since Trabs last generations (no, really.) Questions include: overall comparison of the bindings; concerns about redrilling (did that with old Stelvios to go from ancient Garmonts to TLT5s with zero issue with a slightly larger ski); comparison of ease of getting into the bindings;...

Curious how you compare these to Black Crows Corvus Freebird, or Navis Freebird, if anyone has skied both or all three.

Thanks jbo, you have gently reminded me I always mix up the lateral cant with the fore/aft lean. Directionally dyslexic. Merry Christmas!

Mine came with a small item I think is intended to be placed between the top of the inner boot with Velcro and the outer boot. I assumed this was to provide more forward cant but have never used them.

Update: I was touring in the Wasatch December 2023 and my companions were glopping up a storm. One had similar vintage (recent) Pomocas, but the Pro S-Glides; the other had some very vintage (old) Ascension (I think.) Both were having a lot of snow sticking to skins in the above freezing temps. I don't know what it was about these mohair pups, but they had zero issues. Perhaps the DWR that they impregnate skins with gets inside the natural fibers better, I have no idea, but these were the best game in town ...
