A few details, please.

To be sure, this is no fault of the Ultra XTD design; horses for courses, however, "stability" as defined here is definitely what is lacking in the XTD series in a resort setting, IME. Thanks for...

No more Boa?

Can anyone who has skied this comment on whether it has more stability and "stiffness" than the current version?

Same shell as the Classic. Throw a #12 tongue in that boot and you will be set.

Yes it does!

I can't read German... does it say anywhere what the last width is?

That XTD Ultra lower shell needs more stiffness, for sure. Looks like the walk mode is still the old version, which is part of the problem.

Lots of excellent info here; thanks!

I wish there was a demo program for ZipFit liners; they cost more than my FT when new. LOL



Curious why the HV and not the regular Gara? I was thinking...

Wonder what has changed on the Ultra XTD 130. They list it as "new."

183cm was the longest as I recall.

They did have either wood or foam core layups.

Yes, I am considering this as well... One of my buds has ZipFits in his FT Classics and loves them, but says they ski differently than the wrap. He claims better feel and control, but as like you I...

Nice Closeup.

Could you back up a bit and take another photo for us?

Well hello there, 138 202!

As you state, the FT Classic flexes as it should. Liner "stiffness" is perhaps the wrong word, and "firmness" might be better. My preference is towards a firmer feel in the liner itself, which is...

Gripwalk?

Let's freshen this up. Anyone?

Thanks for confirming this.

Binding techs: what is the word on retrofitting an older P14 toe with a Gripwalk AFD? Yes or no go?

I called Rossi and was informed that part FCHF004 (see post #434 for parts list) would not work...

Hopefully toe peice + AFD.

Anyone out there with a CAST second ski setup that wants to part with the toes?

P12/14 or P15/18?

Apparently Look is saying that while the P15/18 can be retrofitted with a Gripwalk AFD, the P12/14 can not.

Did your bindings test after the switch?

Are there any differences between the 20-21 Ultra XTD and 21-22 Ultra XTD boots?

Why stop there?

GW is stupid on Alpine boots and "crossover boots."

For an AT specific boot, use a full Vibram for better walking, hiking, and scrambling on rock.

Yes! In addition to seeking out newer boots, as a backup I am waiting on CAST to get parts back in stock so that they can do a conversion on my Full Tilts. Regarding walk mode....if only. Like you, I...

Any reports on how the '22 130 skis in comparison to previous versions?

Too bad about losing the lift-lock buckles.

From CallMeAl's PM:

CORRECT. THE VIBRAM...

Anybody have any info on the 21-22 boots?

Just curious: what are you moving to now? Straight up touring binding?

This might be a good addition for warm spring days when the 10 tongue starts to feel mushy.

Kidwoo, could you inform me about the changes to the Eastern Sierra in 2010, i.e. how it was done, and the reasons given; I was absent that day.

Is more access really the solution?

Actually there are already entrance quotas for many Eastern Sierra trailheads.
