The Salomon Stage 11 GW Ski Bindings are designed with lighter and smaller skiers in mind. With an emphasis on light weight, easy step-in action, and allowing the ski to flex naturally, the Stage GW 11 delivers on all counts. Lightest 11 DIN binding on the market at 860 grams per side? Yes. Lower step in threshold for easier access for light people, especially in powder? Yes. Shorter base plate footprint for free flexing ski action? Absolutely. A gem of a binding for lighter skiers and tweens, and one you should consider seriously if you're buying for someone who fits this description.
