The Marker Duke PT 11 Ski Bindings are a hybrid binding designed for skiers who want top-tier downhill performance with the option to tour into the backcountry. These bindings cater to aggressive skiers, especially those who prioritize powerful freeriding while still having the flexibility to skin uphill for fresh powder. They blend the downhill performance of alpine bindings with the uphill capabilities of tech bindings, making them ideal for resort skiers who occasionally explore the backcountry.
While their uphill performance is solid, the Duke PT bindings aren't suited for long, light-touring days. They're best for shorter uphill approaches and excel on the descent, making them perfect for skiers who prefer to prioritize downhill performance.
