Lightweight

Versatility

Easy to handle

Our Wilder range has 3 skis with different widths: 85/95/102 in order to provide a skate width for every type of skier.
The 85, which remains the most versatile width for skiing on all terrains, is the ideal ski for learning cross-country skiing off the beaten track.
The 95, with its straight lines for maximum grip on sloping or steep slopes.
The 102, for free-hikers looking for the valleys.

The binding is fitted to a plate that lets you adjust its length by 60 mm. That means it fits a wide range of foot sizes.
The baseplate is custom-mounted to suit every need.
Thanks to this fitting, you can lend your skis, change boot size, etc.
It’s a huge advantage for introducing people to ski touring.

Almonte 10 bindings: adjustment range

Ski length = 154 cm and 161 cm
Boot shell length 252 => 310 mm 
Ski length = 168 cm
Boot shell length 262 => 320 mm 
Ski length = 176 cm
Boot shell length 282 => 340 mm 
Adjustment requires a cross-head screwdriver. We recommend opting for adjustments made in the shop to ensure the correct distance between the back of your boot and the binding.

Binding adjustment

Ascent:
To lock the ski brake, turn towards the right and a quarter turn of the rear stop, then press with the boot on the plastic part of the ski brake to lock it.
You can easily switch between the three riser positions (one flat and two climbing positions) using a ski pole and without taking the boots out of the bindings. The stiffer the slope, the higher the cleats. 

Use of bindings: Ascent/descent

Descent:
Return to the initial position of the rear stop, by making a reverse quarter turn.

Use of bindings: ascent/descent (continued)

If you want to remove the ski brake, you need to remove the rear cleat from the binding, and remove the ski brake.

Ski brakes

If you want to improve your ski management, you can position a plastic piece on the back of the binding that provides good support  on the binding at the heel. You will therefore have direct contact with the boot with direct support from the binding (choose among the 3 thicknesses, which can be adapted to the thickness of your boot).

Assembly: heel binding support

The skins that come with the Wilder 85 skis are trimmed and cut to the length and width of the ski.
Made of 70% mohair and 30% synthetic material for the ideal balance between gliding performance (when climbing in order to save energy) and grip (when climbing to avoid backsliding).
The front elastic on the skins ensures quick fastening on the tip, and the skin fastens to the tail of the ski with the adjustable camlock.

Preparation

The shorter the skis, the more manoeuvrable they are, especially during conversions.

That’s why beginners are better off with shorter skis. 

For ski touring, we generally recommend you choose skis 
5 cm to 10 cm shorter than your height. 
Length can also vary according to your ski location: 
On marked routes: from -5 cm to -15 cm compared to the skier’s height 
In the mountains: from 0 to -10 cm compared to the skier’s height

How do I choose my ski size?

Go for it—create your high-altitude route far from the resorts.
Go back down to where the snow looks good and the risk of avalanche is lower.
For an authentic cross-country skiing experience.
Good technique, proper preparation, and a thorough understanding of avalanche safety equipment are required, given the natural challenges of the mountains.
Do not go out by yourself.
