Rottefella NTN Short telemark bindings with 110mm brakes boast several improvements over traditional telemark bindings, including releasability, a step-in design and the convenience of ski brakes.

Step-in design makes the bindings easy to get in and out of—no more bending down to attach heel levers to your boots
Unlike traditional telemark bindings, NTN bindings are symmetrical so you don't need to worry about which ski is for the left foot and which is for the right
Sideways release helps prevent injuries during falls
Free-pivot mode provides resistance-free touring while skinning up hills; flip-up climbing bars reduce fatigue on your legs as you skin up steep hills
Bindings provide great torsional rigidity for immediate energy transfer from boot to ski edge
NTN bindings require NTN-compatible boots (sold separately); such boots do not have the traditional 75mm duckbill, making walking easier
Power Tube spring cartridges create consistent resistance as you drop into a turn; short bindings come with soft-flexing green Power Tubes installed
Extra-soft (white), medium (blue) and stiff (red) cartridges (not included) can be installed to give you a desired flex
Rottefella NTN Short telemark bindings include 110mm ski brakes that fit most powder skis
Short bindings fit Garmont NTN boot sizes 25.5 mondo and down; fit Scarpa and Crispi NTN boot sizes 26.5 mondo and down

Please note: Rottefella products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about Rottefella NTN Short Telemark Bindings with 110 Brakes:

Now that there is finally an NTN boot on the market small enough for my foot, I have been able to experience what the NTN (New Telemark Norm) system is all about, and WOW is it fun! So far I have only used these bindings in a resort setting, mounted on Volkl Aura skis, and the rock-solid interface they provide between boot and binding makes for very consistent and powerful tele turns. Because of the way the boot is held in the binding, under the ball of the foot instead of with a cable stretching around the heel, the occasional "tippy toe" feeling that happens with most 75-mm telemark bindings just doesn't happen with NTN. Once I got the feel of the boot in the binding, I could ski faster and longer with much less fatigue, and it is easier to ski confidently in variable snow conditions.

Even though the system is a bit expensive, the ability to adjust the release tension of the springs is worth the price.

Warning: most folks, myself included, will have a bit of a learning curve when first using the NTN system. It very much favors a more compact stance as opposed to an older-style, more spread out position. It took me a couple of days to start to feel comfortable doing tele turns. This system would probably be great for a skier transitioning from an alpine background, as the boot/binding interface is so much more solid than most telemark bindings.
