Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Marker Griffon Demo Bindings.

I'm looking at a pair of 2015 ex-demo skis fitted with the above bindings.

V light use allegedly. My question being, am I going to lose anything with demo bindings?

I always think 'rental', should I get over it? Madeye-Smiley

I'm a 50yo tidy skier, not a young buck flyer. Smile

The Griffon Demo binding is a bit rattly at the toe but unlike other demo bindings it doesn't add any weight or height compared to the regular Griffon. Plus they allow you to play with the fore/aft mounting position & to unwind both the toes & heels off the binding (leaving the bases on the ski) to travel etc. Usual Griffon/Jester problem of them running a lot of forward pressure meaning that they're a b1tch to click in to with any kind of snow on your boot & especially in powder.

Get your hands on other demo plates and you'll be laughing re mounting a quiver. I ski like a ballerina obviously but have a fair amount of heft and haven't had any adverse performance issues. I'd probably give you 15 quid for the plates alone if you did decide to swop em.

I had standard Griffons and hated them...as Spyderjon said, they can be a devil to click into with any snow on boot...really really stiff. Perhaps as a lightweight female skier I was at a disadvantage. I am so much happier with Salomon bindings, and would never buy Marker bindings again... Sad (also has the Squires on another pair of skis, troublesome for different reasons).

Being neither of the above, hopefully I'll have more success. Very Happy

A friend runs a pair if ex demo Line Sick Day 95s on Griffon Demos, which I borrow when I visit him travelling hand luggage only.

A bit rattly at the toe compared to my usual Marker Jester or Look Pivot 14, but frankly I have never had any issues in everything from piste, powder, through crud, slush and getting air in the park. Also means that you can lend your skis to mates (this may be a bad thing).

I'd have no concerns.
