The original SHIFT, released for the 2018-2019 season, has endured until now as an option for skiers looking for a touring capable binding with a feature set more tuned for on-piste exploits or hucking, landing, and hard-driving skiing in any segment of the spectrum—from deep wilderness touring to just-popped off the tram and going to send Corbett’s type skiing. That’s a mighty big range of skiing. And you know this: but that’s also a mighty burly skier running this setup: skiers choosing a SHIFT are usually descent-focused (or ski a 50-50 blend of on and off-piste), but gravity hasn’t changed since the 2018-2019 season, it remains a constant, which brings us to weight.
