My Skiing
Moved to Utah in 1979 and ski bummed at Snowbird for TOO long. But I quickly realized that untracked powder didn't exist long at the resorts and got my first Tele setup in 83. Been skiing backcountry since. Slow to the AT gear, but Skimo changed that. Style is slowly evolving from the Hippy powder turns to willing to open it up on occasion. Finally getting into touring in the Spring too.
My Gear
First AT setup is Spectres and Wailer 112 Pures with Radical ST 2.0. Heavy, but work very well at Alta on Powder days.
Now on Alien RS (size 26) Movement Alp Track 100 with Ski Trab Titan Vario.2.
Spring setup - Ski Trab Magico.2 171cm and Titan Vario.2 of course.

Hi Jess, We all got together and do not know of any compatibility issue. The Universal adapter slides under the toe piece and screws on. I have heard of some people having a hard time sliding it in when already mounted, but that's not an 'issue". The same crampon has been sold for years for the Ion an then the Zed. Everyone here crampon seems to like them

Travis,
Hideous? You should have seen the old MTN 88.
For a damper and easier to turn ski, compared to others in the this category, it is good.
Salomon updated the MTN skis this year and has the MTN 80. We have the previous MTN Summit 79 in stock. The new version has a full Poplar core and the cork Damplifer. Which adds about 200g per ski. So the 86 weighs about the same as the 80.

Josh, Thanks for all that background. The LV liner is not often needed, but you sound like the perfect customer for it. The thinner foot area should be right. And the thick and stiff cuff will give the support and stiffness of the stock cuff.
