My Skiing
Light touch, enjoy skinning up and out as much as the skiing down. Kneeologist warned me to knock off high impact activities so my resort skiing will be limited.

Torn between learning Icelantic or Telemark skiing, I figured Telemark would be a more realistic goal.
My feet are a little wide, maybe a lot, pronated and with what I have been told, a relatively high instep. Scarpa boots, in the past, have not been the best choice for me. Do you think this boot might this boot work or should I be looking at other boots.
My Fischer Travers CS and Tecnica Zero G Peak Carbon's fit very well.

I agree with Andrew's comments however, his assessment appears to be more aimed at the higher energy input performance of the ski. The more you put in, the more you get out. That being said, I found it has a huge sweet spot and easy to ski while "meadow skipping", which I do a lot of.

Glad you brought up how the boot failed. I never really thought about how aerials stress equipment. Hope you are ok.

I went with the 171 cm length at the recommendation of Skimo which, has payed off while ascending steeper terrain. On the descent, the skis are quiet on wind impacted surfaces, carve easily when put on edge and float well in light snow. It is an easy ski to turn in all conditions and I would recommend this ski to anyone looking for a wider ski.

Thanks Teddy. I pulled the trigger on the 171's. I have a pair of Travers CS's.
