SNS or NNN?

Question

Nordic skiiers! which type of bindings do you prefere, and why. Also say the type of boot and ski you prefere with the bindings and why you prefere them. Are you a racer or leisure. How old and what level. Thanks a lot.

I just recently last night bought new atomic and raced on my first SNS bindings they seemed pretty good.

Answer 1

3-pin w/cable!

I ski backcountry and like Karhu XCD skis and boots. I've tried a lot of SNS and NNN boots and they all seem flimsy to me. I don't race and don't do much in-track either.

I've never had good balance on thinner skis. This is because of my strong Alpine background. I just like the wider BC skis more.

I'm 33 and consider myself an intermediate XC skier.

Answer 2

3 pin (Nordic Norm).  I like them because they were really the only option when I started doing backcountry skiing.  I think they have more lateral control than the newer bindings (but that may not be true).  The newer bindings (when I started) were mainly for track skiing.

Ima old guy (46)...what can I say.  Consider myself intermediate.

My wife uses NNN (backcountry).  She seems to like them.
