Product Details

Why you'll love the Marker Alpinist 12 from Ski West

Engineered for dedicated ski tourers and backcountry enthusiasts, the Marker Alpinist 12 delivers ultra-lightweight pin-binding performance without sacrificing power transmission or release safety. Built with a carbon-reinforced pin toe piece and a twin-cam heel, this minimalist tech binding offers direct power transfer to the ski edges and active length compensation for smooth flex during aggressive turns. Featuring integrated climbing aids with 0°, 5°, and 9° tilt options, dynamic length alignment, and a brakeless design for maximum weight savings, the Alpinist 12 provides fast, efficient uphill ascents and confident control on downhill descents.

Key Features

ISI (Intuitive Step In) Toe Piece: Carbon-reinforced toe featuring integrated boot stops and optimized kinematically engineered pin levers for fast, effortless alignment and step-in.

Active Length Compensation: Integrated heel flex allowance expands up to 4mm to maintain consistent release values and uninhibited ski flex when compressed under heavy loads.

38mm Wide Hole Pattern: Extra-wide mounting footprint delivers maximum leverage and direct power transmission to the ski edges on technical terrain.

Climbing Aids with Fast Shift Mode: Features 0°, 5°, and 9° riser positions accessible with ski poles, allowing quick switching between neutral and maximum rise without needing to rotate the heel head.

Anti-Ice Pads & Elastomers: Built-in pads at the base of the toe prevent snow and ice buildup in critical engagement zones.

15mm Heel Adjustment Range: Offers +/- 7.5mm of track movement to accommodate various boot sole lengths without remounting.

Ultra-Lightweight Brakeless Design: Streamlined 270g build eliminates unnecessary weight and drag for maximum efficiency during long ascents (crampon and optional brake compatible).
