Lead by a passion for making bindings with both great performance and great safety. In the early 50’s leg fractures on ski slopes were alarmingly common, as the bindings of that time had no release function - especially spiral fractures were a common occurrence as there was nothing to stop the ski from twisting the skier’s leg. Preceded by Look with their first release mechanisms, Marker was quick to jump in and make bindings better than ever, allowing for safe release when the forces were starting to get too big.
