Dynafits are Fustrating: The sequal!

Chris, I would be glad to show you some of the techniques/tricks  seven+ seasons of heavy use have taught me.
Let me know if you want to ski together with the "best bindings".

Offer accepted. We'll tour with Dynafiddlies in deep snow and every time I get dynafuzzled you can show me the solution, deal?

I think based upon what I've read in these posts, I'm going to remove my brakes as I think these are causing a lot of the problems I'm having with them. I agree that no leashes is an absolute in avalanche terrrain so I'll need to rig up a system that will give way in an avalanche but retain the skis in a normal fall of which I have many.

I took a tip from a Wildsnow discussion and put zip-ties throught the pieces that hold the tongues and glip onto those; I guess the key is getting a tie that will break with moderate pressure (avy) but not with light pressue (release).

My suggestion is to use a split ring from a key chain if you need a leash. They come in different weights ,sizes and admittingly it's a empirical method but they will pull apart. This is the method that I have used on Voile releasables over the years.

After lots of futzing, I found this works best for me- plastic clip (found at Marmot as a tele-leash), a split keyring, and longer 4 mm cord. The loop is long enough to stick a gloved hand in to yank on (which helps a lot in deep snow), then you simply pass it through the boot leash, and clip it to itself (larks lead) to take up the excess. The plastic clip and split ring both have a pretty low breaking strength (avie wise) but are strong enough to take run-of-the-mill crashes.

I saw a leash in Backpackers Supply  in Tacoma today advertised as a tele-leash and made by Croakies the same people who make the sunglass thingies. They had a split ring at one end and a clip at the other and mid-way between was a buckle like the one on the sternum strap of my pack.
I thought it interesting but was wondering of the push on buckle would release in an avalanche as they are quite stout. Anybody seen or used these?

Korup, your rig is similar in concept.

I've used them (at least similar ones) on tele skis and they are pretty tough, til you step on one and crack the buckle, then it will surely release in an avy. Despite owning a couple of pair of those, I wet with snowboard metal clip with blue fabric leash leading to a loop for attaching to the ski (the whole things is very light and the clip is large enough to work with heavy gloves) and the zip tie on the boot. The whole leash is easy and quick to remove from the ski at any time under any condition. The leash you're talking about is slightly more difficult to remove (have to deal with a split ring 1/3 covered by the leash). I initially got them cuz you could unbuckle if you wanted guarnteed separatiion from the ski with a binding release, but then the lower buckle hung over the edge of the ski.
