The artery that feeds blood to your toes runs along the top of your foot. So a bad combination of the boot/binding strap/skinning stride is depriving your tootsies of warmth.

I was browsing the Alpina site when I stumbled on those boots, and my first thought was… wonder how they would work with snowboard bindings. I don’t have the boots. Not sure they available stateside. They do intrigue me for xcd though.

Personally, I have had very good luck with my alpina boots and nnn-bc bindings. Haven’t broken boots or…[Read more]

That is the kind of thing I am thinking about. The msr have a metal plate that I could bolt bales onto or I could make a new base plate since it has a free pivot not semi flexible bands that a lot of other shoes have.

Morricone and descendants of the Squirrel Nut Zippers always make a good music bed.

Though I must admit I have never had a splitboard I have been committing backcountry glisse for a while now. (30+ years). And I have been mostly lurking here since the early days.

My days of getting smacked in the back of the head by a snowboard are, I hope,…[Read more]

Hey Utah/Shred Dog what is the music in your video? Thanks

Drivers are US 10 mp 28. No liners.

Bindings are;

Mission Si size large 10-15 no disks, no forward lead/lock

Si-X size large, have the 3 and the 4 hole disks (which obviously fit the Missions too) Has the FLAd/lock but is not the same as the mission.

Package deal only.

cheers, Spencer

IIRC when telemarktips.com was in business the waxless ski debate always ended up with the coastal moderate temperature guys who face a wide range of conditions in a single day (hour?) in favor of them (or at least grudgingly accepting their versatility) and the very cold weather or inland powder types opposed. And of course the wax snobs…[Read more]

So how are the Fissiles treating everyone so far?

That nose and the super tight sidecut seem like it would work well in the NH woods.

thanks

Did you notice the splitty at 2:01?

I wonder how they’d go in corn. Hmmm……

When I had O2’s here on the ice coast i used a regular strap binding. There was some lateral slop in my men’s large bindings. I also remember them having a lot of rocker which made it odd because there was so little sole contact with the binding. Isn’t the upper on this boot really floppy? From what I remember i wouldn’t want to be in anything but…[Read more]

Thx SnP. I like Volkls. Skiing is fun but its not snowboarding fun and definitely not bc snowboarding fun.

And yes I am asking bc snowboarders for ski advice. I figure there must be some family guys and/or cross over types on this forum. And I figured they might have a similar sense of what a fun ski would be.

cheers

bump for lower price
