My Skiing
Previous telemarker. Any AT boot I use seems easy to ski. Prefer long mellows days than steeps, though I occasionally do steeps if I need to because of a summit trip.
My Gear
TLT5 and Voile Vector for most backcountry days
Dalbello Virus and Voile Vector inbounds; Dynafit Vertical ST
Scarpa T2 and Karhu Guide, with releasable Voile bindings

These sound exciting! Will they share the same new toepiece as the S170?

Thanks for the review! I'm curious what bindings you are using.

I should add that I’ve used them almost exclusively for touring, which is what I bought them for.

That’s a bit hard for me to evaluate. I’ve not yet used them anywhere where we had difficult kick turns. These are the biggest skis I’ve been on in a while and they did feel “big, but not unwieldy. Obviously shorter is always better for kick turns. Depends a bit on how tall/heavy you are. I’m 6’ and 160 lbs.

I would say they ski short, yes. And in fact they measure short— they are only about 183 from straight pull measurement in the 187. That said I really am not sure that I would have been unhappy on the next size down.
