Re: Can't see bindings :)

They were old cable bindings - similar to the ones on the Red Fischer or Blue Cortina skis shown here:

Ski Museum

Even though they were not designed as Randonee bindings, you could unhook the cable from the side clips and obtain some heal lift for walking. Not ideal, but it worked.
