Marker Ski Bindings: Precision and Control on the Slopes
The History and Innovation of Marker Ski Bindings
The M-Werks binding represents the pinnacle of lightweight, high-quality engineering. Constructed with premium materials and ISI toe pieces, it provides enhanced comfort and efficiency for skiers tackling long ascents.
Downhill skiing, as we know it today, was still in its infancy 50 years ago. Concerned about the high rate of injuries on the slopes of the Bavarian Alps, sports journalist and ski instructor Hannes Marker set out to improve safety—leading to the foundation of MARKER. He identified inadequately responsive ski equipment as a major cause of injuries and applied his perfectionist, problem-solving mindset to develop better solutions. His innovations revolutionized ski bindings, providing the precision and control that skiers enjoy today.
Versatility Across Skiing Disciplines
Marker has continuously pushed the boundaries of ski binding technology, offering specialized solutions for ski touring, alpine performance, racing, and junior skiers. By engineering bindings tailored to each skiing style, Marker enhances the performance and safety of every skier.
Freeride & Touring Favorites
- Duke PT – A favorite among Aspen locals, the Duke features Marker’s Extended Power Frame chassis, which is 28% wider than the original, delivering exceptional power transmission. It’s the ultimate choice for big-mountain freeskiers seeking a balance between climbing efficiency and downhill performance.
- Baron – Designed for lighter big-mountain skiers, the Baron offers the performance benefits of a Triple-Pivot Toe and Inter-Pivot Heel, ensuring stability and power on challenging terrain.
When selecting Marker ski bindings, it’s essential to ensure the DIN setting is properly adjusted for your skiing style and experience level. The correct DIN setting will provide the perfect balance of safety and performance, ensuring a secure fit while allowing the bindings to release properly in case of a fall. Whether you’re using the bindings for freeride bindings or ski touring, the right settings can help prevent injury and maximize control on the slopes

Alpine Ski Bindings: Performance & Reliability
Marker’s alpine bindings cater to every level of skier, from beginners to elite athletes:
- Griffon – A top choice in freeride skiing, the Griffon is renowned for its strength, versatility, and reliability, making it one of the best-selling ski bindings worldwide.
- Jester – Built for advanced freestylers and freeriders, the Jester incorporates lightweight magnesium components, delivering superior precision and responsiveness.
- Squire – The entry-level option in Marker’s lineup, the Squire is ideal for budget-conscious skiers looking for a balance of affordability and performance.
Marker ski bindings offer adjustable DIN settings, allowing you to customize your bindings for different ski disciplines, such as freestyle skiing or ski touring. For example, freeride bindings often require a higher DIN setting to accommodate aggressive skiing, while ski touring bindings may benefit from a lower setting for controlled, lightweight movement.
