I have the 9 and the 12 Alpinist mounted on two pairs of backcountry skis and they are phenomenal, I even use it on the resort and people ask me all the time? How do they feel?, I tell them: they are light and can ski all day. Ultra light on long tours, and solid on the way down. Had them for 5 years and no issues yet. Make sure the toe is clean of snow for a quick lock.

I've got these. They are a bit finicky to step into but I find if I engage one pin first, then the other that works well. Also the click into walk mode isn't very positive so need to be careful. Agree they ski really well for a pin binding

Using these in Switzerland end of March this year. Hard snow and rock under surface. Torsional load on coutaux resulted in bending the centre of the bracket that hold the coutaux resulting in one flying of during a kick turn. Had to do running repair by tapping centre of bracket back into place. Known problem apparently. I'd recommend swerving these and take a look at ATK.

I had the bindings for one year. This year I lost one of the heel risers... the pin that holds it got out during a tour.... Marker is not offering this piece as a replacement. No post sell repair service!!! Very poor customer service from Marker!
