Compatability Rottefella NTN freedom bindings and zero g 95 blizzards

Post by Loupeachamonix » Tue Apr 23, 2024 3:50 am


Hi all,
I’m posting on behalf of a gift for someone else, so apologies if my question is dumb.
Does anyone know if Rottefella NTN freedom bindings are compatible with Blizzard Zero G 95s?
I haven’t yet got a straight answer from the ski manufacturer…
Thanks
Loupea

When you ask about compatibility, what do you mean?
Are you concerned that mounting these skis with telemark (or Freedoms specifically) will void the warranty? Are you concerned that the screws are too long for the thickness of the ski? Or that the top sheet won't hold for a telemark mount? I'm sure the skis can be skied with those bindings, and I doubt screw length or top sheet strength is an issue. I don't know about warranty concerns.

I ski Zero Gs with switchbacks. Second mount, first tele mount. They were skied aggressively with dynafits, but only really lightly with tele Mounts as I'm new to freeheel

Hi both,
I’m not really a telemarker- just a wife who wants to make her hubby happy with skis : ) I was warned by a friend to ask about compatability - I guess meaning, will they actually fit? We could always adjust the screw length if there is a screw depth issue. Thanks!

I don't see any reason why you couldn't mount Freedoms on those skis and they should work just fine. I have mounted Freedoms on narrower skis with no issues.

I can understand the warning, because there are some situations where compatibility is an issue, but I agree with Montana that your choices should be fine for the mount.
