Impressive.

Anyone know what ski bindings they are?

Carrey 12 Mar 2013
I believe it's Silvretta Pure Performance. But maybe he can comment more on this.
I have these bindings as well, and I've been happy with them. I'm using these bindings with La sportiva trango ext. evo light boots. Considering getting warmer boots though..
