Telemark Binding Mounting Patterns

TTS – OMG & DIY

The original Telemark Tech System from OMG.

In general users of a Telemark Tech System are primarily concerned with hole conflicts relative to the toe piece since the heel block can be shifted with fewer consequences. In addition, the heel block holding down the cable tends to be behind the forward mounting points of most bindings.

Olympus Mountain Gear uses the basic Dynafit legacy (TLT) toe pattern, plus the holes for the cable block. DIY mounts tend to be with a Dynafit legacy toe (TLT, Comfort) or G3’s Ion. In the latter case the mounting holes are only one part of mounting the binding, shimming the cable block to match the height of the toe underfoot is another component.

While OMG does not promote using toe pieces other than their own, the design and ordering options don’t prevent it either. There is a healthy market of do-it-yourself’ers who prefer a Dynafit or G3 toe. This is the logical place to provide those mounting templates. Comparisons with other bindings are best found in the other pages of this post, i.e., Rottefella, 22 Designs, The M Equipment.
