Notice this sub-forum is rather stale. With the resort skiing season closing up, have poked about the web for current backcountry gear since have an interest in getting back into some of that after being away a few years.
I still have an old pair of BCA Alpine Trekkers that have lousy functionality but was able to get up modest slopes with. Also some K2 backcountry skis with Naxo bindings that are rather non functional at my low weight plus other usual bc stuff. As someone that at most will just dabble with short hikes in the backcountry for spring corn and fresh powder versus resort skiing, much prefer simply adapting my heavier resort gear I ski well with versus dedicated backcountry gear.
One recent product of immediate interest are these expensive Daymaker binding adaptors:

Reviews indicate a considerable improvement versus the wobbly Trekkers so am at this point expecting to pull the trigger on a buy later today unless something negative rises. Watched youtube videos that show them being used in ways the Trekkers were painful on.
