- I am about to purchase a new set of XC skis and I was wondering if someone

- get into some (novice) backcountry skiing and I want bindings that give a more
- control (I'm also planning to get skis with metal edges).

- Check out the Voile three-pin with detachable cable.
- Or if you desire even more lateral stability, try
- a Voile plate with the three-pin of our choice.
-
- I'm not sold on the full cable systems, but I know
- many BC skiers that are. IMHO, they are heavier
- than necessary and do not provide the lateral
- stability of the Voile plate.
