The 3 Main Advantages Over The Stock Lever

Whether you're looking for another layer of security in the backcountry, dealing with mobility issues, or you're smashing laps and are done with squatting down to release your back foot in that sea of ski pole tips known as the lift line, the Pro Standard Push Button Quick Release with it's convenience and safety is the answer.

Why You Need The Push Button Quick Release

• The smoothest, fastest, easiest "Get Out" for Step ON bindings
• 2 minute install
• Lift line convenience
• Backcountry safety
• Ultra Light
• It could save your life
• Fits every year, brand, model and size of Step ON
• Designed by Snowboard Hall of Fame member Ken Achenbach and 2010 Halfpipe World Champions Justin Lamoureux 

Its way faster to get out. You’re pushing the board away from your foot when you release. It’s lightning fast.
If you have mobility issues, these are mandatory. You’ll save about 20cm of reaching.
Those first 2 points will add up if you ever get stuck in a compromised situation, like in a treewell, you have a much better chance of getting off of your board. They could be life saving.

They take a couple minutes to install, fit all the step ons, and yes, you can still fold down your highback.

Instead of squatting to your ankle to release your back binding simply reach down to the top of your highback push the Quick Release button, and step out of your binding. 

Adjustable Height Quick Release Button
The Push Button Quick Release Button can be raised or lowered to where it works best for you.

Compatible With Every Brand, Year, Model & Size of Step ON®
No matter what version of Step ON® that you ride, the Pro Standard Push Button Quick Release is the perfect upgrade, compatible with every size, every year, and model of Step On® from Burton, Union and Nitro.

RESORT RIDING = CONVENIENCE
BACK BINDING USE ONLY
In resort riding you only need the Push Button Quick Release on your back foot for the convenience in getting out of your binding in the lift line. 
DO NOT INSTALL THE PUSH BUTTON QUICK RELEASE ON YOUR FRONT BINDING WHEN RIDING LIFTS. IF YOU HIT THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAIR OR ANOTHER PERSON'S BOARD OR SKI IT WILL RELEASE.

BACKCOUNTRY = SAFETY 

"The Push Button Quick Release could save your life." 
- Doug Lundgren
Level 3 Heli Snowboard Guide. 
Avalanche Forecaster at Big White Ski Area

In the backcountry, splitboarding, catboarding or heliboarding, it's all about safety. It's where our inspiration came from to create the system. In the backcountry is when you want the Push Button Quick Release on both bindings, it was designed to make it as easy as humanly possible to get out of your bindings if you end up in a tree well or in a situation that makes it hard or impossible to reach your ankle. 

"I use Burton Step ONs for Heli-guiding. The problem of having to reach down to your heel to release is a big issue, especially if you are in a tree well. This will add years to my heliboarding and may even save a life or two."
- Bob Sayer
Mike Wiegele Heliskiing Senior Lead Guide

“This will be so good for me as I have atrophy and nerve damage in my left quad/femoral nerve from surgeries."

- Amber N. 

Invented by Hall of Fame snowboarder Ken Achenbach and 2010 Halfpipe World Champion Justin Lamoureux. 

Once you ride with the Push Button Quick Release, you'll never go back.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

INSTALLATION & USAGE

INSTALLING THE L'HIVER
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the release lever from your binding. Hold the T-Nut at the back with your finger and install the Push Button Quick Release L'Hiver in it's place. Unlike the lever you just took off, the

Push Button Quick Release L'Hiver points back to the heel.

POSITIONING THE QUICK RELEASE STICK GUIDE
Place the stick on arm guide on your highback in a position that still allows for the push down motion that activates the release mechanism.

RELEASING YOUR BOOT
To activate the release mechanism, push down on the release button at the same time you lift the heel of your boot. Do not hold down the release button as you pull your boot out of the binding as it was designed not to release in this scenario. Simply push down, let go, and lift your heel out of your binding in one smooth motion.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT & POSITIONING
Rotate the release button in either direction until you have it at the desired height. Perfect positioning for your Push Button Quick Release is slightly below the top of your highback.

RIDING SWAPPED?

The boxes say on it whether they are left or right, if you did the swap, when you look down at your Right binding, you’re now using a Left lever. Vice versa if you did the swap on a Left binding now you need to order a Right lever.

Union Bindings do not allow for the lever swap; so you order a Right lever for a Right binding, and then a Left lever for a Left binding.

KEEPING YOUR PUSH BUTTON QUICK RELEASE SAFE
When getting on the chair be sure to have your highback folded down to avoid it get caught/crushed under the chair seat. We built the adjustability to make it fit over 80 different highbacks. The temptation is there to make it as high up as possible. Don't do it. Having it above your highback makes it vulnerable to breakage from accidentally kicking it while skating, someone stepping on it in the lift line, hooking on things as you walk or getting caught/crushed under the chair when you load. In case you're wondering... we've done all of the above while testing the prototypes. If you have small or medium bindings, you can't help have it above your highback. Screw the push button down as far as you can and you're good to go.
