Pros

  • Easy To Set Up
  • Rugged

Cons

  • Heavy

Best Uses

  • Short Approaches

Comments about Backcountry Access Alpine Trekker Ski Touring Adapters:

The alpine trekkers are less expensive than the alternative of buying AT bindings but their weight makes any decent length approach feel that much longer. For short approaches, they make a great transition from lift serviced areas to backcountry but their weight makes long approaches (such as those found in many parts of the Adirondacks) much more tiring than they should be. If you want a first introduction to backcountry these might be the ticket but otherwise spend the extra buck and get AT bindings or learn to tele.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros

  • Cheap way to get OB
  • For out of town Friends

Cons

  • Difficult To Set Up
  • Unstable

Best Uses

  • Back Country

Comments about Backcountry Access Alpine Trekker Ski Touring Adapters:

These are great if you want to get out in the back country once a year if that. If however you think you will do it more often than that you may want to look into some real AT bindings. They are also good to keep around for when that out of town guest shows up and did not bring their gear!

Pros

  • Easy To Set Up
  • Lightweight
  • Rugged
  • Stable

Cons

    Best Uses

    • Back Country
    • Deep Powder
    • Downhill

    Comments about Backcountry Access Alpine Trekker Ski Touring Adapters:

    We have a mountain above Anchorage with a perfect bowl - Wolverine Peak. After a good dump I like to head up the mountain and bomb on down. With my new Alpine Trekkers it was extremely fun. Skiing uphill with downhill gear is a work out but that's what it's all about. Soft powder, a view of the city below. It doesn't get much better.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
