Most resorts require some form of runaway prevention—either brakes or leashes. Many 75mm telemark bindings use leashes instead of brakes, which some resorts accept and others do not. NTN bindings typically include integrated brakes like alpine bindings. Check your local resort's policy before skiing 75mm bindings with leashes. If brakes are required, some 75mm models offer brake adapters, or you may need to switch to an NTN system.
