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.

Damian, Shouldn't be much of a stretch for that to work. Of course the 105mm wouldn't be too wide.

Hi John, On paper. I just took a closer look. The Manti have a 5mm wider tip and a bit longer tip rocker. The Hyper Manti have more float and really playful. I am rather biased, happens to be one of my favorite skis.
The Backland comes in light for this category and is also a fine powder ski.

Bruce, So far we aren't. They only make it with a ski brake. And the brake doesn't have a sliding AFD.

Ray, If your ski is 85mm wide. You would want the 90mm wide crampon. Not sure what else you are asking.

Hey John, We don't stock any. Have your tried Lange directly?
If not, you can replace with a similar buckle of any similar style. The Zero G Tour Pro use similar buckle with a wire loop. Just need to be the proper length.
