I went 27.5 vs my 26.5 ZGPT. My ZGPT both needed 6th toe punchess, the Peak does not.
I formed my own liner and footbed: a rather large volume Sole footbed in it.
~100g heaver per boot than my 27.5 Alien RS, but skis significantly better.
They were great on the first hut trip... well try it on this next hut trip and report back.Originally Posted by blurred

I've skied ~30 days with them since Dec 30th.
I've used them ~50/50 with K2 Dispatch 120s (186cm), Blizzard Zero G 105s (180cm) — and a couple days going uphill fast at a ski resort with Dynafit Blacklight Pro skis.. whichever model is 79mm under foot. About half of the days have been with the stock liner, and the other half with Intuition Pro Tour.
I'm sure there are boots with better ROM; that said, the difference between these & the ZGTP is enormous in terms of rearward flex.
I skied my ZGTPs for the first time in a while at a ski area the other day. The performance difference is notable—the ZGTPs hike fine (obviously heavier; rearward ROM not an issue while bootlicking) and ski better for sure. A part of that is a fit with a bit less slop in it (ZGTP shell is a tighter fit for me & I have an alpine wrap liner locking my foot down).
I'd say it's at least a 10% difference — ymmv. It's more than a tiny bit.
That said, the Peaks can push around a bigger ski if you know what you are doing — and more easily if the snow is good. As the snow gets trickier the limits of the boot will be more exposed. The Peaks do have a more progressive flex than I've experienced in other light boots. They do feel like real ski boots, albeit softer ones.
IMO other light boots have felt less like ski boots than these.
Seems like although I've only had mine for 5 weeks I may be among those with the most experience on them. My gut tells me that although they can be driven hard, if one is skiing them the same way as they do their ZGTPs (which I think is possible or close to it), they won't last as long.

I leave the liner in all the time.
To put on, switch to walk mode and wiggle in while holding the loops on the front and back of the liner. Walk mode lets you get the right angle to slide past the overlap portion.
To get them off, switch to ski mode and pry them off using the back of the cuff.

Any reports on driving a heavier touring ski like a 187 BGT110?
Trying to replace some Hawx Ultras that never fit quite right with something that has better ROM (most important) and lighter (less important). Fairly certain I'd love these once Spring volcano skiing rolls around but I'm hoping they'll be enough boot for general soft snow hunting too.

I haven't done this yet but keep thinking about it. I have a bg108t that I usually ski with a skorpius, but I think these would probably still be OK. Especially for that kind of ski that's going to be mostly soft snow and can be skied more centered.
That being said skorpius should also be on your list, has similar ROM I think but is a tad stiffer/heavier.
