Classic Cross Country Ski Bindings

Purchasing Classic Cross Country Ski Bindings

When replacing or adding classic cross country bindings to your skis, it is crucial to be informed about your preferred binding system. These systems are categorised into three types: NNN (New Nordic Norm), SNS (Salomon Nordic System), and 75 mm (3-pin). If you already possess cross country ski boots, the outer sole or the product description will indicate the compatible Nordic ski binding system.

Do NNN and SNS Bindings Equate?

NNN bindings, crafted by Rottefella, differ from SNS bindings, manufactured by Salomon. They can be distinguished by the number of ridges on the bindings: NNN bindings have two narrow ridges, while SNS bindings feature a single thick ridge. To ensure compatibility, the sole pattern of the ski boots must align with the ridges on the bindings.

NNN bindings have established themselves as the prevalent type for cross country skiing. Brands such as Fischer, Rottefella, Salomon, Atomic, and Rossignol offer equipment built around this framework. These brands have developed exclusive versions that adhere to the NNN system. Names like Turnamic, Prolink, and NIS are frequently encountered in the market.
