Hi Alex, I haven't personally used the Nano Jul, so I can't speak directly to its performance here. You are correct however that it is quite similar to a BD Alpine Guide, which I have used with a Rad line (with a single carabiner). This worked okay on two strands, I'd probably want to double up carabiners for a single strand. You should check out the Grivel Scream, which was actually designed with the Rad Line in mind and recommended for ropes of that diameter!

Hi Joe, No, there would not be any difference in the downhill performance between those two, because they are essentially the same binding. The Haute Route has an adjustment plate, which adds about 6mm of height to the heel, but other than that they are functionally the same. Generally, the biggest difference in downhill performance will come from your skis and your boots, not the bindings. You may be able to feel some increased power transmission with one of the heavier ATKs, so if your goal is to maximi...

Hi Taylor, When I tried it on, my thoughts were that it was a little wider than the F1 LT at the ball of the foot through the midfoot, but the toe box tapers in towards the big toe, right at the front. It does have a snug heel pocket, on the narrower side there. It should be a sweet boot, early feedback has been that it skis very well for a boot of this weight!

Hi Jeff, Yes, I would go with the 90mm brake!

Hi Parker, These are great skis! They are fairly light, making them quite efficient in the backcountry, and they ski well on the downhill by touring standards. They could be fun to ski in the resort too, depending on what you want out of a ski in the resort! They will not be as damp and stable as much heavier resort-specific skis, of course, but they could get the job done. For bindings and boots, that is a longer conversation - boots are all about fit, and bindings really need to be matched to you and yo...
