The ski brand Marker made its mark on the world when, in 1952, it revolutionized the ski industry with its invention of releasable ski bindings. Marker’s new ski binding equipment gave the sport a much-needed overhaul in terms of preventing and minimizing the rate of leg injuries in both recreational and professional skiers, and the brand went on to become a solid presence in not only the world of skiing at large, but in the sport’s overall safety.
