My Skiing

I work full time patrol on the East coast and as a result most of my winter backcountry days are variable. Given the constraints that come with a full time, physical job I get out on a tour when I can. I end up skiing everything from blue rime ice to 20" powder days to punchy wind slab. Most of my consistent back country skiing happens in the spring when work ends.

A typical backcountry day for me could involve 4-6k+ feet of elevation, couloir skiing, and climbing up to WI3+/easy 5th class rock.

My Gear

Boot: Scarpa F1 Evo
Ski: Blizzard Zero G 85 171cm
Binding: Dynafit Speed Turn 2.0

Good Stuff I finally have been able to put quite a few days on these boots and I have nothing but good things to say about them. They drive my Blizzard Zero G easily, with plenty of oomph to spare. I would use these for (light-ish touring skis) up to 100mm under foot with no problem. The boots are very comfortable, with a wider last, and don't squeeze my toes like some other brands do. This is important because it can be stupid cold in NH. My coldest ski day this year was a high of -15f. They climb ice and...
Will the Radical 2.0 mounting pattern match the Superlite 2.0 or is that just wishful thinking?
