Many ski tourers still leave the fitting and adjustment of bindings to the specialists, although at least the adjustment of bindings is not particularly complicated. But are you actually allowed to adjust bindings yourself? Legally, this is a grey area. In theory, insurance companies can demand proof of binding adjustment by a specialist in the event of a claim, but in practice this happens extremely rarely. Adjusting your own bindings helps you to better understand your own equipment and to be able to help yourself in the case of a problem in the terrain. So it's worth trying at least once. And in case of doubt? You can always ask a specialist for help.

Last week Max and Emil reported on their experiences with the Dynafit Youngstar setup, now you can win your own setup on PowderGuide.com! All you have to do is read the article down to the bottom (it's not long!) and leave your comments here or on our social media channels.

With the Dynafit Youngstar touring ski set, the renowned brand with the snow leopard has closed a gap in the ski touring market: a lightweight set specially designed for children that makes the joy of ski touring accessible to the youngest members of the family.

Ski touring is more than just a sport - it is an invitation to experience nature intensively and discover the magic of snow-covered mountains away from the piste. But what does it take for children to enjoy this adventure safely?

Seven weeks of ski mountaineering: waking up, suffering through putting on your frozen boots and packing up the iced-over tent. Seven weeks of taking the weather as it comes – spending entire days in complete whiteout, being blown over by 120 km/h gusts of wind, and waiting out storms in alpine huts or (more often) on people's couches in the valley. But also seven weeks of being amazed by the ever-changing scenery, of being stunned by the beauty of snow-covered mountains every single day. A trip shaped by incredible encounters and people’s hospitality, depending on the kindness of strangers and meeting inspiring individuals. Seven weeks of raw adventure - this is "Crossing the Alps", the story of Hugo and Linus traversing Switzerland on skis.

The opening ceremony of the Dynafit Headquarter in Kiefersfelden was an absolute highlight, not least because of the ski workshop. A whole day was filled with our own ski construction and the subsequent opening ceremony with drinks and music.

Pin bindings are becoming more and more widespread and have almost replaced the good old frame binding. But how do they actually release and what do you need to bear in mind?

Let's pause and just consciously block out everything that's going wrong in this world and how difficult it is to forecast the weather numerically. Kye droppin! Kye Petersen's life is full of tragedy, but his skiing is full of glamour. What's more, Michael Larcher comes back to earth every year to remind us of all avalanche-related things!

As already mentioned in the short-term gear review at the end of last season, the Tigard is probably one of the ski touring boots with the best downhill performance on the market. And so it is certainly worth writing a full test report after a longer period of use!

The Tigard (a mixture of Tiger and Leopard, by the way) is the new top boot from Dynafit. At approx. 1.5kg, the Tigard is a relatively light touring boot. Thanks to the carbon-reinforced Grilamid, overlap construction and the massive Hoji-Lock locking mechanism, it still has a real flex of 130.

ISPO, an interesting but also very exhausting trade fair, has been postponed from January to autumn. However, at PowderGuide we still do our best to provide you with information about the material for the coming season. However, the information is largely based on information we received from manufacturers - after all, we weren't able to scrutinise the new products ourselves at ISPO.

With the new Radical Pro, Dynafit presents a new high-end all-round boot that is designed to impress both on the ascent and the descent. We tested how it performs in practice for you last spring.
