My Skiing
Skiing for 40 years, love to go fast and get steep but no longer huck my meat. I tour for the down but want light light on the way there. I do some citizens races, and I'm pretty fit but I watch the kids go up and smile - they are faster up than I ever was...
My Gear
Powder boards: DPS Lotus 120 w/ Plum Guides and a Scarpa Mistrale RS.
Tour boards: Dynafit TLT6 CL, DPS Cassair, PLUM Wepa.
Just bought a pair of Solomon Minims and am looking at bindings and skins now. Can't wait!

Just bought this boot and am super impressed with both the stiffness at the weight and the lock system (and they fit so well I could ski them all day right outa the box)!
Curious though, forward lean states 12 & 15 degrees. How does one adjust that? Would like to try it with different forward leans.

I have experienced the same failure mode with the 2017 SCTT toe piece TWICE(!!!!!!) on different toe pieces this season ('23/'24)! Once while skinning up, the ski just fell off my foot when it broke. The second time I was initiating a turn at approximately 30mph and went down hard. Both instances l was left to ski out on one ski. These bindings are garbage.

I was wondering if slightly wider (70mm) and trim to fit for steep climbs (mountaineering climbs/traverses etc) would be a slight plus. Will they fray/shed if this is done? And while we're at it, can you recommend a couple of bindings from which to choose (looking at the Plum 150 and the Ski Trab Gara Titan Release)?

With the little extra width do you cut a custom skin? Which skin do you use?
