[edit] Rottefella/Fischer Partnership
Taking effect beginning of the 2007-2008, Fischer will partner with Nordic Binding producer Rottefella. Rottefella bindings will be the official bindings of Fischer Skis boots. Presently, Fischer boots use the Salomon Nordic System (SNS.) Rottefella is a manufacturer of NNN (New Nordic Norm) bindings. These two binding systems are not compatible, and, beginning in 2007, Fischer boots will be using the NNN system to be compatible with Rottefella bindings.
