AT bindings for Eos?

[jaydog]

I just bought a pair of Blizzard Titan Eos's with demo bindings from eBay. (At $99, I just couldn't pass it up) Would AT bindings work with this ski? I'm thinking Duke or Fritschi Freeride, but also wondering if something slightly less heavy would work. I don't envision these as primarily touring skis, but more for powder and sidecountry.

I'm sorry I missed this post.
I had the Eos Last year and really liked it for a lot of stuff.
When I got it, I was shown the options for bindings on these that will/can be adapted with a plate. One of the options was the Duke binding.
Skiershop in Stowe has some knowledge about this. Ask for Mike!

Thanks! Did they mention whether or not the Baron would work?

I took these out last night (finally) and really, really liked them.

First of all, I forgot to say, $99!!!!! Holy crap, you should ski those like you stole them!!!!


On to the bindings,.......
A few points:

• The current IQ bindings have a heel piece that is similar to the baron, however the toe piece is not.
• the IQ is set up for the duke, but not the other wide(er) platform bindings, unless I'm mistaken.
• I believe that the 2010 Blizzards will be a wide IQ.

Bindings are an area that I need to bone up a bit, but I've been paying attention to the set up for Blizzard, so I think I have my facts straight.

Dang! And REI has an outrageous sale price on the Baron right now. I was trying to avoid the excess weight of the Duke- I picked one up in the shop and it felt heavier than an actual ski.

I'm surprised no one else bid on those skis. My buddies' reaction when I told them the price: "were there actually two skis in the picture?"

You might want to check and see whether the Duke's come in your size. My foot is too small for this binding, regardless though I have many friends that guide BC all over the world and most of them agree that the Fritschi's or Diamar's are the way to go. I personally have Fritschi Freeride's that I love.
