So I just picked up a pair of k2 marksman and I’m looking to start getting into touring/want to have the option to tour a few times a year and need to decide on bindings. I ski park primarily, but won’t use these on rails ever as I want this setup for the few pow/all mountain days I get each year on the east coast, as well as tuckermans in the spring. Was hoping to get some input from people that have been skiing the shift for a little while now to see how durable it is/holds up to a year or so of abuse etc. Also how confident they feel in it’s retaining/release ability when skiing aggressively downhill including cliff drops or steep stuff like Tucks
 
I’ve had one since release day and they’re still trucking with no issues. Only problem I have seen is the brake snapping when being popped into your mode. Be sure to hold both sides as you pull up to avoid damage.
 
Do you ski them normally like downhill lift accessed stuff too? How do they feel relative to a traditional downhill binding?

I have skied them more in bounds then out and they feel great. I don’t ski them everyday, but fairly often.
