Utah Windriders Association

For anyone snowkiting on skis, i can tell you from experience that when you're 2 miles out from your car and things go wrong, it's really helpful to have AT bindings (along with skins and collapsible poles in a pack). came across this product that makes your existing bindings work like a pair of marker dukes. kind of expensive, tho, at $300, so if you're starting from scratch, its probably cheaper to just buy AT bindings. If you've already got a good pair of bindings that these will work with, might be worth it.

Yes! These rock. My son and I have used them. The set up, once you get your non-at binding on em... is a little heavy. But more safe than Dynafit and others ect. Nice way to skin out if wind dies.

If all you need is some insurance for when the wind dies, you may want to look at the alpine trekkers (http://www.backcountryaccess.com/product/trekker). They are cheaper, can be used with multiple pairs of skis and don't require any mounting. They are also heavy and awkward, but will get you back to the car.

Martin makes a great point. I am a freak about trying to make my snowkite gear as light as possible. Swing weight, on jumps and glides can mess up a good snowkite day. We are lucky in Utah that we can snowkite so close to the car. Safty is way less of an issue than some other spots. I am going to Jackson this weekend and I am super concerned about getting stuck way out with a girl I am kiting with. The BCA product is way more light that this Alltime product. But the cool thing about Alltime is that you can ski the backcountry hard... charging like I fear doing on my Fritschi’s. I have used the BCA Trakkers also. They work great. Just ask yourself "what do I want to carry in my pack".
