Classic Cross-Country Ski Bindings

Purchasing Classic Cross-Country Ski Bindings

When seeking to upgrade or add classic cross-country bindings to your skis, it is crucial to identify the binding system you prefer. Options include 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 details will indicate which Nordic ski binding system is compatible.

Are NNN and SNS Bindings Equivalent?

NNN bindings, crafted by the brand Rottefella, differ from SNS bindings manufactured by Salomon. You can distinguish them by the number of ridges present along the bindings. NNN bindings feature two slender ridges, while SNS bindings have one broad ridge. The soles of the ski boots must align with this ridge pattern for compatibility with the bindings.

NNN bindings have emerged as the predominant type for cross-country skiing. Notable brands such as Fischer, Rottefella, Salomon, Atomic, and Rossignol design equipment that adheres to this system. These brands have also developed their proprietary versions compatible with the NNN design, and frequently, products like Turnamic, Prolink, and NIS appear in the marketplace.
