The Marker Alpinist 9 is a lightweight and high-performance touring ski binding, ideal for skiers seeking a combination of lightness, safety, and reliability. Weighing only 245g per binding without brakes, it offers a DIN range of 4.0 to 9.0, suitable for skiers weighing up to 110 kg. The toe piece is carbon-reinforced and equipped with anti-ice pads, facilitating entry and ensuring good protection against snow and ice. The rotating heel piece has three climbing positions (0°, 5°, 9°) and allows for quick switching between ascent and descent modes. A 15mm length adjustment (+/- 7.5mm) is possible to adapt to different boot sole lengths. Compatible with Low Tech insert soles (ISO 9523). This binding is particularly appreciated for its ease of use, lightness, and downhill performance, offering a stable and secure feel. However, some users have reported that entry at the front and back can be difficult, and the rear release system can be stiff. Additionally, the ski brake system has been criticized for unreliable operation in compact or icy snow conditions. In summary, the Marker Alpinist 9 is an efficient and lightweight touring ski binding, suitable for skiers seeking reliable uphill and downhill performance, while being aware of the limitations related to the ski brake system.
