Likes: Marker has been one of the mainstay brands in ski bindings since the 60's. They have been constantly on the move with new products and are the dominant maker of binding systems for many of the major worldwide ski brands. In 2008, Marker introduced a very innovative binding called the :Duke" this was the first alpine touring binding to offer the skier the same quality retention and firm ski control of a normal high end alpine binding. There was also a non touring model called the Jester. For '09 Marker has added more models to this collection.
