The Atomic Shift has been in development for eight years and the conclusion is simple. It's real, it's here, and it's as awesome as it sounds. A touring binding with no compromise wipes the fear of pre-release away forever. Full DIN certification in both the toe and heel provides alpine downhill performance never seen in a touring bindings. It's time to saddle up and dominate the uphill and crush the down with full confidence. Transitioning from downhill to touring is achieved with the press of a button on the toe. That's it, you go from full down to full up in an instant. Yes it has a climbing ladder and yes it's crampon compatible. There is nothing the Atomic Shift can't do. It will be slightly heavier than some of its pin binding competitors at 865g per binding, but that trade off for safety is marginal. Atomic also engineered the Shift with Multi Norm Certification (MNC). In Layman's terms that means it works with almost every ski boot on the market. GripWalk, WTR, and touring soles are all compatible as long as they have full toe and heel lugs.

The Atomic Shift Ski Bindings are for everyone who enjoys skinning and downhill. Whether your a casual morning cruiser at your local mountain before it opens or a backcountry enthusiast, the Shift makes sense. With 47mm of elasticity travel in the toe ensures you won't pre-release if you feel like sending it off a cliff or ripping some trees at speed. Regardless of what you're into the Shift will make you life better for going up and coming down!

*Not compatible with boots that DO NOT have full toe and heel lugs: i.e Atomic Backlands, Arc'teryx Procline, Dynafit Hoji, Salomon X-Alp..are a few to name.

TLDR: The Shift is essentially two bindings in one. A tech binding for the uphill and a full DIN binding for the downhill.

The mass exodus of more skiers each season ducking boundary lines to head into the outback at ski areas — often called “sidecountry” terrain — has perpetuated an evolution in gear aimed at skiers who demand more mobility in the terrain that chairlifts do not serve. Bindings have received a sizeable bulk of this attention, including beefy alpine-touring products like the Marker Tour F12 or Fritschi’s DIAMIR model, both of which offer solid downhill performance along with an option to “flip a switch” and change to a free-heel mode for heading back up-mountain again.

Next year, a new player emerges in this space. A partnership between Salomon and Atomic has resulted in a binding that’s being advertised as setting a new standard with “next generation freeride performance” and increased efficiency on the uphill side. Oddly, the bindings — called either the SALOMON Guardian 16 and/or the ATOMIC Tracker 16 — will be offered for the same recommended retail price and will be identical both technically and functionally. Two brand names, same binding.

Those “next generation” promises? The companies are a bit low on the details being released as of now, but a press teaser issued this week cites a binding chassis with a “lower stand height for greater stability” plus the bindings will have an oversized platform to “enable maximum power transmission and responsiveness for quick and more precise turns,” the companies tout.

DIN range will be 7 to 16, enabling mission-critical grip on the boot for big air and the sickest terrain. Another distinguishing feature may be the bindings’ hike/ride switch, which changes the mode from downhill to up with the press of a ski pole tip. On top, ready to shred with locked heels again, a user will simply step down to engage four steel teeth that are spring-actuated to lock the heel piece back into place.

The Salomon/Atomic bindings are not designed to compete with lightweight bindings from the likes of Dynafit that lean toward the ski-touring crowd. “There are companies that are known as uphill touring companies, and that is not” what these bindings will be, a Salomon media rep told us. Instead, the Salomon/Atomic bindings are touted to “optimize downhill performance” and to give skiers the opportunity to access more of the mountain and get to the powder “without compromising downhill ability,” the media rep cited.

Overall, the bindings will be advertised as the “most durable and easiest to use binding that has hike and ride” modes. Unfortunately, other details we wanted like pricing and product weight have not been released. A company rep said more information will be offered when the bindings are unveiled at winter trade shows in a couple months, including Outdoor Retailer and SIA. Skiers looking to try the bindings out should seek demos this winter. They will likely ship to retailers for consumer sale next August in time for the 2012/2013 ski season.
