Ski history would be very different without the influence of industry titans, Marker bindings and Völkl skis. Both companies started life in Straubing, Bavaria - Völkl in 1923 and Marker in 1952 - pioneering many of the innovations that we now take for granted in ski technology. We’d like to welcome their support for Mountain Safety Collective!
While their product lines span the gamut of ski disciplines, their specialisations in ski-touring gear have helped propel access to the backcountry. Whether you want a frame style binding that works equally well on-piste as off like the Marker Baron, a hybrid pin binding with full heel support like the Kingpin, a lightweight ski mountaineering binding like the Alpinist or the new generation of Freeride bindings like the Duke PT, Marker has all bases covered. Likewise, Völkl’s range of dedicated touring or freeride skis provides a huge variety of options for backcountry access.
For proof of what you can do on Marker and Völkl gear, look no further than their pro team that includes big mountain luminaries like Ian Macintosh, Ingrid Backstrom, Marcus Eder and NZ’s own Sam Smoothy and Janina Kuzma amongst many, many more.
With their supporting sponsorship of Mountain Safety Collective, Marker-Völkl demonstrate their commitment to Australia’s ski touring community by helping fund MSC’s daily Backcountry Conditions Reports and other initiatives.
