That you can telemark in?

"Can I telemark with Dynafit bindings?
No, not in the sense of making linked telemark turns down a mountain. While you can ski downhill with the binding/boot in touring mode (i.e., with a free heel), and thus scoot one ski forward and make an awkward "telemark" turn, doing so places huge stress on the binding toe. If you put much force into the turn, you'll pop the toe out of the binding, or break the binding."
