By combining a lightweight tech toe with more of an alpine style heel, they created something that toured like a light weight and skied like a heavyweight. As a result of this combination, a whole slew of skiers who would normally never venture out into the deep winter wilderness suddenly got their confidence, allowing them to access both rarely skied terrain as well as early-morning, season, and spring skiing for when the lifts aren’t running at the resort. At most places, the resort closes well before the snow goes out, so there’s oftentimes a few months at the beginning and the end of the season that’s available only to human-powered skiing. Kingpin’s XXL Power Transmitters on the heel make for a good amount of points of contact, allowing for that solid connection, and when you step in, it feels a lot like your normal alpine binding, lending confidence and performance to the downhill portion of the ski. As far as revolutionary products are concerned in the sport of skiing, the Marker Kingpin 13 should be at the top of the fun list for sure. Carbon Reinforced Tech Toe. Stand Height: 21 mm. Ability Level: Advanced and Expert Skiers. To take advantage of this free mounting, you must provide your Boot Sole Length (BSL) by messaging us. If this is for a NORDIC ski, we just need your EU boot size in order to mount. Read below for more information on BSL. Where to Find Your Boot Sole Length (BSL). The boot sole length is not your foot size or boot size; it is a millimeter measurement of the boot shell. Ski boot manufacturers emboss this measurement into the plastic shell at the heel or under the arch. The number will fall between 255-365mm for an adult ski boot. This number will be greater than your mondo boot size eg. A mondo size of 23.5 commonly has a BSL of 275mm. Please include the “mm” unit to indicate that the number given is the BSL and not the mondo size.
