Hi all.
The wife has a pair of Atomic Cloud 9s with XTe 10 bindings. She is thinking of buying another pair of Cloud9s - but they come with 'Lithium 10 bindings'. She wants to save space & only take one set of bindings for both pairs of skis - anyone know if the XTe10 bindings fit on the Lithium 10 track? Thanks.

No replies - Atomic too busy to answer Q.at moment. - Skis are selling out fast so just wondered if anyone knew??

I'm not the binding nerd, but I am 99% sure these tracks are not compatible.

Lithium is a new track that is modular with a new range of bindings, the XTE is an older track that is not.

Why does she want two pairs of the same ski? It would make more sense to just use the older ones till they break or just upgrade to the newer ones and ditch the older ones.

Thanks for getting back. Oh dear - I had hoped they would fit. I appreciate your input.

She actually has three pairs already. We go skiing for a number of weeks at a time. We can service skis (which we prefer to do ourselves) at our home base, but when away take multiple pairs to last the time away. One pair is really in need of replacement. We try to keep luggage to a minimum so take 'bare' skis & one pair of bindings - hence the need to buy skis that use same bindings. Make sense?

For info in case it applies to anyone else - Atomic did eventually get back to me & confirmed that the track on the 'lithium' is different from the XTe10 one. I was advised it was a rather 'technical' question - :)
