Backcountry Description: The Marker Baron Ski Binding offers backcountry skiers a true 12 DIN alpine freeride binding married with touring capability. Ideal for lighter weight big mountain skiers, the Baron refuses to sacrifice downhill performance for AT functionality. Marker's revolutionary plate touring mechanism guarantees this binding will never release into touring mode on its own, and the binding's connection brackets mount directly to the ski, allowing for optimum power transfer without altering your ski's true flex. The plate design also gives the Baron a lower stack height than comparable AT binders, resulting in a more responsive feel. In touring mode, the binding shifts backward 3cm for greater uphill efficiency. The Baron's wide footprint gives skiers offers increased edge control on today's fatter skis.
Eastern Mountain Sports Description: Designed for the way you use it, the Marker Baron lets you climb in hiking mode, and then lock it down for an unparalleled charge downhill. The Baron AT is lighter than the Duke and more suited to longer tours. Power-Width-Design for downhill skiing performance designed to work on the modern fat skis. Back Country technology lets the user switch between an uphill hiking mode and downhill skiing mode. The mode switch lever is located under the boot to prevent accidental activation. Shortest frame of all AT models on the market. 10 mm wider interface than traditional racing bindings. Connecting brackets strategically placed for better edge control. Toe and heel deliver greater power transmission through increased boot lug contact.

Product reviews from Backcountry:
Marker Barons | 
Beefy, yes, and that is a really strong point for these bindings! Especially regarding the change out basically not being an issue. Great for quick change while hiking? Not as much. I wonder if there is an issue with super cold/icy conditions causing even more of a lengthy change over from hike to ski mode in the backcountry. Anyone know?
