From everything I’ve read, Skorps can handle just about any width of ski, whereas people skiing the F1 LT on wider (like 100mm+??) feel they’re pushing its limits and keep it to soft snow on wider...

Nice, thanks turnfarmer! Great info. This might be an empirical process based on budget and "easiest solution first". I've got pretty ok dorsiflection (no injuries/hardware), although probably less...

How're those Objectives on hard snow?

Working on dialing in the Skorps I got from your buddy. The toe/heel insert positioning create a very reduced ramp angle compared to my Dynafits (Vulcans &...

Definitely not, totally different ways of attaching

Maybe a good question for the Wildsnow review author in the comments section, sounds like he uses tour wraps in his F1 LTs, and seems to be fairly responsive

Interesting as compared to the Blister Flash review that seems to say it’s just pretty comparable to other 2-buckle kilo boots like F1 LT

Man, I've been really tempted to get the Blaze 94 for general use. It's just above 1500g, depending on length, and sounds like it's robust and can be found pretty cheap, relatively speaking.

Edit:...

Yes, good probability that anyone carrying MR will have staff that’s trained in pack fitting that will help get you fit right, which is worth pounds IMO

Still have my Gamma SK's from like '11 and are still in great shape, I use them 95% of the time midwinter. Same weight double-weave material as the Gamma LT but with braces/suspenders and I love the...

Ah! Got it :)

I totally understand, but the issue is for those of us who drive skis from the front, or skis that respond to being driven that way, even lighter skinnier ones. That’s the reason why F1s and...

It’s a rescaling. Cochise Pros are now a 197.5 flex.

Edit: also read somewhere that there’s a big difference in flex between the carbon and non-carbon models, I imagine by (marketing) design. it...

Alpinist heels can be turned with the pole. And of course the Dynafit Speed Turn.

Yeah I had the Backland Descenders which I think is still the same ski, like 1200g in the 170. Great ski, I just didn’t like being locked into pendulum turns with the short radius.

SOLD.

Got some credit from a return, I'd rather have the cash. PM if interested. I would be simply forwarding the buyer the email with the code. I can probably dig up someone as a reference here...

Backland 78 (non-UL version) for CAD250 for anyone looking to try out skimo or a solid sping mission ski on the same site.

Are these one sale due to updates for next season?

Props to Benneke10 for getting me in touch with a solid seller on some touring boots!

Looks like maybe Renegades in shorter lengths/women’s version next season for anyone not following 4FRNT on IG lol

Hey, loading up today I realized I've somehow misplaced my boots. Dynafit TLT6Ps with Palau liners. Last time I used them was skinning up from Timberline last Sunday from the overflow lot and it's...

Another +1 for the Blazes, although I have a friend I suggested Pandoras to for her first bc setup before the Blaze was released and she was pretty happy with them. Things are pretty light at the...

Ah, I was thinking it was a 5mm gap on most heels, my misunderstanding. Still, most heels with elasticity seem to usually be 10mm. I am happy with mine, about the best bang for the buck, especially...

Would be interested to know if the revised Alpinists have increased elastic travel in the heel over the current 5mm. With the kiss gap and 5mm travel, theres not really any difference than from 5mm...

I’ve always done a bit of tuning on any binding, DIN or tech, to address pre-release, or too tight a release, after I first get them, and that amount has really varied really up to maybe 2. Sorry for...

I think my IO Mags came with the storm rose flash, which works great for me in poor light.

What do you think is going on with people who don’t like the Raven in hard/icy conditions as compared to people who love it in the same conditions?

Any thoughts on what the meaning of "cagette" would be in French ski reviews? Google keeps the term untranslated, but literally means "boxy" or "crate" from looking up the word. Uncertain what that...

Nice setup! Let us know how it goes. What boots?

Interesting, thanks for all the input. I had actually stuck my foot in a 28 last year in a shop and felt like I could go smaller, but they didn’t have a 27. I guess I could REI their 27 and see. No...

Checking to see on F1 LT sizing. My original (99 mm width) 27.5 TLT6s fit fine, 26.5 Vulcans ok with a punch for length, and had but never used some F1s in a 26.5/27. I’m guessing F1 LT in a 26.5/27...

Fantastic, thanks

How frequent do those tongues break as a guess?

OTOH, apparently according to skimo.co they addressed the tongue durability issues. But yeah, Boa, sigh.

Possible new Raven on 4FRNT’s IG. Interesting binding choice.

That got me too. I think they must be taking a cue from MTB naming conventions.

Also the old Volkl VTA 88 (not lite) that’s now the Rise Above 88, probably a tad more demanding and higher performance than the Wayback. Caveat that I’ve only got armchair internet research...

There’s a ton of 88mm options out there, that width being popular in Europe for the maritime snow. K2 Wayback 88 is always solid, versatile and decent price. Would be my no-brainer, slam-dunk...

Thanks, johnny! Full rocker love. Something for in-mourning, lost BMT fanboys (me) to wait for the reviews to come out on.

From that YouTube video and trying Google Translate, sounds like (maybe) mini machine is 109mm at the waist. Also heard the word "light, very light" in english. That's about all I picked up, the...

Yeah if the mini is like 115 and the weight scales like the current La Machine.. or even if the weight doesn't scale... whew!

Very lightly used, no signs of wear. Redundant piece for me. Breathes really really well. Great touring shell. $75 local pickup in Portland, but I get down to Bend probably once a month. It is a trim...
