So, can I use my Dynafit bindings as a resort binding?
Depends on style. My wife uses Dynafit for all her skiing, both on and off resort, about 40 days a year (some “days” being fitness climbs before work). She is very happy with them, never pre-releases, and they seem safe enough. She seldom falls, and is not an aggressive skier. She skis intermediate parallel. But, and it’s a big BUT, aggressive resort skiing on the Dynafit is problematic. For starters, hard bump skiing or landing large jumps, as mentioned above, can pop you out of the binding quicker than a champagne cork on a wedding night. What’s more, while the Dynafit is durable in comparison with other randonnee bindings, a hard bash to the side of the heel piece can cause a lot more damage to the Dynafit than it would to an alpine binding. In summary, the Dynafit works fine as a resort binding for low-key skiing. Aggressive skiers should not use it at the resort, except for occasional “dial-in” days.
