Using your randonnee bindings for all your skiing, resort and backcountry, is known as "one rig." The wisdom of using bindings as "one rig" depends on a few factors. If you're primarily doing laps using ski lifts you'll be covering an immense amount of vertical that places wear on the bindings they were not designed for. More, though the Fritschi toe release is adequate, it's not as highly engineered as the latest alpine bindings.

The Freeride is sold with brakes, while the Explore/Express is sold without, so we weigh them that way. Note that with brakes, weights of all models are similar. We get all our weights by actually weighing items on a digital postal scale. Weights shown here may differ from other published weights, this could be due to manufacturing changes or publishing errors. If you see something that doesn't look right, please contact us (use contact option on main menu). See similar questions...

Sorry, not likely. The bar connecting the toe and heel units of all Fritschi backcountry skiing bindings has machined slots near both ends that would end up where you'd cut the bar to make any significant length change. See similar questions...

Yes. If you need Freeride bindings look for them on the used market. Search web forums and Ebay. If you don't need the beef of a Freeride the older Diamir Titanal 3 is a good alternative and may still available on the retail market. T3 is not in production, however, so it's somewhat of an "orphan" product. See similar questions...

Simple, first do a rough adjustment of length so that your boot snaps in and looks like it's correctly held. Length adjustment is done with the screw at back end of the binding rail. Next, with the boot in the binding, adjust the length screw a few turns in or out so that it's exactly flush with the rear surface of the rail. Take care to get this right. Too much forward pressure may cause the toe unit to break off the binding, while too little will cause pre-release. See similar questions...

The centre of the mounting position is marked on the left sidewall of each ski to help guide you See the 'specs' section for each ski model on the website. If you wish to adjust the position of the binding slightly forward or back depending on your skiing style, you should discuss this with the ski technician who is mounting your bindings.

Do take extra care on the ascent to the resort. Val d'Isere is not a particularly high resort (1850m) but a baby cannot always equalise the pressure in his or her ears as easily as an adult.

Telemark bindings are available in two basic design styles, the 75mm Nordic Norm and the NNN-BC. Boots designed for one system are not compatible with the other. The 75mm Nordic Norm telemark bindings are designed to accommodate the large square toe of a telemark boot. Two basic binding types exist. The three pin binding consists of a 75mm toe piece with three vertical pins protruding off of the base and a sturdy metal bale that clamps the boot onto the plate and pins. See similar questions...

Disable the old bindings by moving the node '@keys EKR bindings: Emacs keys + modes' so that it is a child of the node: '@ignore Unused key bindings'. Notice that there are two child nodes of the node '@ignore Unused key bindings' that refer to legacy key bindings: Move one of these two legacy nodes up one level so that it is a child of the node 'Keyboard shortcuts'. It should not be a child of the node '@ignore Unused key bindings'. See similar questions...
