Purchasing ski bindings that offer a dual compatibility feature will allow you to purchase less expensive boots as an addition to your ski gear set-up, saving you a bit of money. Also, these types of ski bindings will allow you to switch back and forth from the slopes to the backcountry, providing you with greater versatility if you need or want it. And, even if you only focus on one style of skiing, slopes only or backcountry only, you’ll still get the performance you need out of your ski bindings.
