My Skiing

In the winter a fair bit of racing, and below treeline, safe BC skiing. Also some multiday touring and staying in miners cabins/huts.

By the time April comes around I have half my ski days for the season. The rest come after. Interesting, steep, technical lines are the name of the game in the spring. If it involves ice or rock climbing all the better.

They have been going strong for me

The clip is much stronger appearing and I have been unable to get it to catch when rubbing the boots together. The gaiter also seems to be more durable. I had issues with wear on the gaiter and mild tearing of the vel...
Mounted on my Magico.2 ski. They perform amazingly on the descent, are light enough for the ascent and the brakes are well thought out. I find the toe works better than an ATK toe as far as snow packing issues. However after a long day I find them a bit difficult to remove due to the spring strength. The heels are great, but if using without the brakes you need an extra piece(spacer) so the adjustment track operates correctly. I love the brakes and how I can still do a one motion transition with them, unli...
