Maybe I will just go with the Voile Heavy Duty 3-Pin. Is that a
possible option?


Certainly, that's what I had on my old XCDs and they did a fine job
over many years. Reason I switched to Rotafella Super Teles was
purely availability in the UK.

Looking at Karhu's site I see that the new XCD Mountain is a fair
bit wider than my old XCDs, which are nearer the current "Pinnacle"
model, so it's a ski that would reasonably take Riva 3s as a
general binding IMHO. A very experienced pal has R3s on Fischer
E109s for some touring (with Excursion boots) which are a little
narrower than your skis, which also suggests it's a fair combination.

But the Voile pin/cable *is* a viable binding, as long as you don't
mind the awkwardness of the pins on those days it's mainly about
downhill. Another thing about the Voile is if they do wind you up
you can always just file the pins off, though that does seem a bit
of a waste...
