The Marker Alpinist 10 is a ski touring binding built for those who spend as much time skinning up as they do carving down. It strikes a balance between low weight and reliable performance, giving you a dependable interface between boot and ski on long tours or quick ridge runs.
Weighing in at just 360 grams, the Alpinist 10 helps keep your uphill efforts light while still offering a robust release mechanism. Its DIN range of 4–10 means you can dial in the right release setting whether you’re a lighter skier or carrying extra gear—important for maintaining safety without adding unnecessary bulk.
The DIN setting refers to the amount of force required for the binding to release the boot. A lower setting lets the binding open more easily under stress, reducing the risk of injury for lighter or less aggressive skiers, while a higher setting holds firm under harder turns and heavier loads. With a 4–10 range, this binding covers a broad spectrum of skier weights and styles, keeping you both secure on descents and ready for any unexpected bumps.
