Plum Tech Bindings

Crampon

Crampons are essential for providing traction on icy and snowy surfaces. When skiing in backcountry areas, the terrain can be unpredictable, and crampons help prevent slipping on steep slopes. They attach to your boots and allow you to navigate challenging conditions safely, making them a must-have for any serious backcountry skier.

Plum Tech Bindings are specifically designed for backcountry skiing, offering a lightweight and innovative solution for attaching your boots to your skis. Their unique design allows for better performance in off-piste conditions, providing stability and control while navigating varied terrain. This means you can enjoy a more responsive and enjoyable skiing experience.

Backcountry skiing takes place in remote, un-groomed areas, allowing skiers to explore natural terrain. Unlike traditional skiing, which is confined to ski resorts with prepared trails, backcountry skiing involves navigating through deep snow, steep slopes, and changing weather conditions. This requires specialized equipment and skills, making it a more adventurous and challenging experience.

Ski mountaineering combines skiing and climbing, so you'll need a range of specialized equipment. Essential items include touring skis, lightweight ski boots, Plum Tech Bindings, crampons, and an ice axe. Additionally, safety gear such as avalanche beacons, shovels, and probes are crucial for navigating remote areas safely.

The unique attachment method of crampons allows them to be secured at a ninety-degree angle over the ski binding, which is different from traditional methods. This design reduces wear-and-tear on both the crampon and the binding, enhancing their longevity and performance. It ensures a secure fit, allowing you to focus on your skiing without worrying about equipment failure.

Not all crampons are compatible with every ski binding. It’s important to choose crampons that are specifically designed to work with your binding type. For optimal performance and safety, ensure that the crampons you select are compatible with your Plum Tech Bindings or any other bindings you may have. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility before purchasing.
