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

Bottom line so far, having skiid them in wet powder, real dry powder, chalk, and icy sections (all in one day, Mt. Baker ski area), I like em.
Both days were in the resort, and while th...
