seriously. ski bindings are the worst. I've been saying it for years "If there is one thing about skiing that would make me quit forever and switch to snowboardings - it's the bindings".
Like, seriously - i don't think i've gone one season in the past 10 years without having binding issues.

 
tyrolia, marker, salomon, rossi, movement, plus i'm sure there's some more in the mix
- heal piece's ripping out, exploding (mostly 'cause breaks are good at breaking skis), cracking. toe pieces ripping out, exploding, cracking.
the breaks are one directional which - I think all of you on here can agree with me on this one - don't usually end well while falling switch.
there's so many damn moving part, all spring loaded - if one thing shifts in the binding it usually released something 'causing the whole fucking thing to start dropping pieces everywhere....
fuck - a snowboarder usually only has to replace a plastic strap while we got hunks of metal and springs flying all over the place.
and the whole non-compatibility from company to company...
 
ski skating you say.... my friend duncan and i each have a pair of ski boots this winter for the soul purpose of urban boot skiing. it's going to be uber cool.
 
The only thing i dont like about ski bindings is the non capadibility(sp) other than that i am fine. they have saved my knee many a times
 
You could beartrap yourself to the skis with tele bindings? If you dont mind the possibility of losing your knee
