My Skiing
Lifelong skier (telemark) who recently went to the dark side and got AT gear. I have gotten hooked on skimo racing as a means to improve my fitness and ability to try more committing things in the mountains.
My Gear
Dynafit PDG skis and boots plus their low tech bindings for racing and now pretty much everything.

I can't remember and is no longer ger in my order history. I bet the folks at the shop should be able to help, especially with the boot picture I posted. FWIW I removed the laces from the new liners. Completely unnecessary.

While these are a tad heavier, the do everything mentioned above while skiing sooo much better. All I chang...
