Sweet and Simple

Been using the Voile Switchback binding this season after converting an AT set-up to tele. Love the solid construction, light weight, performance and ease in the transitions. Just got a second set of skis with Switchbacks. Folks (Tyler and Michael) at Cripple Creek very helpful and knowledgeable.

GREAT RESOURCE AND STAFF IS VERY HELPFUL

I am very pleased that i found Cripple Creek BackCountry.
The staff, esp Ryan & Doug were very helpful in helping me select an upgrade in 75mm Tele binding & Tele Skis to use.
Ryan took the time to Listen well and understand my situation of wanting an upgrade in gear but stay with a budget , refine my Technique , but stay with my Garmont Veloce boots with new liners and appreciate I am in my 70’s and want to continue to Tele as best I can and Enjoy the slopes/conditions I can ski on.

The Voile Switchback binding and The Hagan Core 84 skis are a Great Combination to ski variable slopes & conditions we have in Central & Northern NY.
Thanks you so much again for your time , advice, selection of this Tele gear without me ever feeling like I wasn’t being listen to or just trying to Up Sale me to “popular / or treading gear”.
I would say Give them a chance to meet your Gear needs. Mark CNY

So far, so good!

I've been skiing the switchback for 5 or 6 years now. Gotta a new pair of skis and didn't see anything else out there lighter, more reliable... so I got another pair! Cripple Creek was easy to deal with, reliable and a fair price too!

Touring and Turning with the Voile Switchback Telemark Binding

This binding allows for a signifcant increase in range of motion (ROM) with toe of the boot to the ski. This increased ROM enhances every forward stride. Along with the advantage of bringing the pivot point more forward, it allows the tip of the ski to become lighter and easier to push forward and upward. Such freedom I've never had in any telemark binding! And now for the turning part of the binding. So easy to switch into ski mode and very secure with great stability! Love these bindings for all my touring and turning needs for backcountry or "lift" skiing.

Voile Switchback

Just mounted up and went for a tour. These are my new favorites, so easy to get in and out of and they ski well up and down.
