what are these? do they have holes in the skis to move the bindings back and forth to change the stance?

It's their new rail system. I woulcn't trust it to hold bindings on anywhere near as solid as flat skis.

Shudder... it's hard to believe Rossi could make the PX bindings even more shitty.

PXs are the best bindings I've ever used.

They had this system on a few forum boards a while back and it was ripping out nonstop.

Its tweaked slightly, but im sure it will eventually have similar problems.  In theory it is just not as efficient or strong as the traditional mount.

maybe the current system will work fine for younger, lighter skiers and riders?

It looks as if the heel has threaded inserts, which seems to be much stronger than the slider.  I say go with the inserts in the front as well, this may however not leave enough core

i think its not a great idea.  there is no way for that system to possibly by as good, light, functional, etc as a traditional mount.  just shell out the cash for a couple pairs of binders and youll be much happier.
