Proper Kit for mountain warfare is coming from industry. In this case it’s a militarized version of the classic Vector BC.
The ski incorporates the Voilé Traction Pattern Base which aids in long approaches although you’ll probably still need skins for steep terrain.
Offered in 160, 170 and 180 cm lengths.

Really cool to see both arctic/mountain environments as well as jungle environments being addressed by the industry after 15 years of urban warfare-centric products.
They introduced a whole “Down Range” line to include a grey version of the switchback binding

Thanks for staying out in front of this.
Why do they use tele bindings instead of a tech style AT binding?
Ben,
The main reason is most of the mil contracts world wide are using telemark type bindings. Voile’s binding and G3’s teli bindings are some of the more common.
AT boots are also for the most part not a great match for average mil ski conditions.
