The Marble 84 Ski + D11 Binding pairs a forgiving, easy-turning ski with a binding built to grow alongside it. The ski's early rise tip and hook-free tail keep turn entry and exit smooth on groomers and soft snow alike, while its lightweight Symbio Core keeps the legs fresh through a full day out. The Defiance 11 binding's GripWalk compatibility and wide DIN range give room to progress technique without outgrowing the setup, and a matched 90mm brake arm means the package arrives ready to mount instead of leaving one more part to track down. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I skied this on a mixed day of groomers and a little soft snow and never felt like I had to fight the setup. Getting it mounted was the easy part too, since the brake was already sized to match."
