Weird, horrible experience w/ Manual BC
Weird, I have had way more trouble with manuals icing up, but that was with older models. I have been skiing NNN/BC Autos since they came out; 10-12 years ago?

If your getting iced in or having hints of it with any NNN binding; one trick is to warm and dry out the binding indoors. Use a Que Tip or whatever and work water resistant silicone grease (any auto parts store) into the sliding portion of the binding as best you can. I agree, these bindings are not for cranking out turns or for advanced terrain or nasty snow conditions. I use 75 mm three pins and/or cables for difficult conditions.
