Integrated systems have diminished the need for separate binding purchase, but many skis are still available “flat” so customers can affix the binding of their choice. Flat skis are primarily in the freeride or park and pipe categories.
New from Salomon this year are the Z12 Oversize and STH 12 Oversize, so named because the toepiece has an increased contact zone for better retention while not affecting release values. Increasing the grip on the boot and widening the attachment points to the ski are all part of the recent attention to get more performance from a system by eliminating wobble between boot and snow.
