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.

Gaston, The skins are for 185cm and longer skis. Too long for your 176cm skis.

Steve, our shop did some testing years ago on toe release values. I looked, didn't test either of those. But most all the ATK models tested out very similar.

Marc, You can only use another Fritschi Vipec or Tecton toe piece. Again, any other will not work. Maybe a new binding.

Hi Max, The Blacklight 2.0 would be a fine match for those skis. This would be the boot with a little more power for the down, then the lighter boots in this category. But by no means overpower those skis.

Hi Mark, The TLT boots are wider and have a taller instep height, both of which can help. But to better help you, can you fill out our boot fitter in detail, and we can delve deeper into your issues.
