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 Steve, Atomic doesn't say No to mounting these with Tele bindings. But most light skis are susceptible to having Tele bindings rip out. Our resident Tele/ shop tech says this ski should be OK. But at 240 and skiing in a resort, there would be a chance of ripping them out.

Hi Tjaard, The brake is similar to the regular Alpinist and is separate. But it includes the Freeride spacer, so you would loose it.

Bob, I believe that feature is mostly to open the toe if it is in the locked out position. The TR 1 does not have it. We tested it, in a completely straight forward fall, it does not come out. You need at least some twisting to the fall. I have skied these and they are pretty amazing. The toe wings move laterally with the boot for the lateral elasticity, remaining in contact with the pin holes. On the Fritschi the wings fall to the side. So the pins are not in contact with the boot and in some instanc...

Tjaard, Pretty much all women's models have the exact same shell as the Men's. So fit will be the same. This boot has what I would call a generous, average width. And the unique tongue design does do well in closing up volume. It looks like we got back a size 26.5 to try on.

Tomas, All Boot boards are unique for each model of ski boot. These will no work for any other brand ski boot.
