Found this while cleaning out stuff in the shop today. It’s been kicking around here for years and I can’t recall what / where it came from.

Anyone know?

There are (slightly) more current telemark bindings that are very similar.

Know anyone that used to ski?

I ski … but don’t free the heel.
My old roommate from 25+ years ago is a big tele guy … I just sent him that pic he laughed but doesn’t think it’s his. And if it is he laughed even harder that I’ve kept it for 25 years and several moves despite not knowing what it was…
