It's not weird, it's fucking stupid. If I see anyone touring with those I'm punching them and taking their skis. [emoji3]Quote:

I would’ve used that d fit booster today. Cat skiing terrain off the hill is a 10-20 minute skin traverse. Doesn’t gain much vert. Lap in lap out

Just curious how it will affect ski flex when unused under the boot.
I never raved about cast [emoji3]Quote:

Trust me. You wouldn’t. Always Pass a few touron snowboarders boot packing. They might make one lap(usually they cut out early and waste it) and powder so no one herring bones. I like my CAST set up. I’m pretty efficient with my change over routine now so no problem there . On the hill at 10 and 4 2000ft untracked laps. I haven’t but figure it’s possible to do 7 laps. No way you’d hike or herring bone that given the conditions. New CAST is look only. It looks improved in a lot of ways. The d fit toe plates on my version 1 have developed a fair bit of slop but I think I’ll just hack a garage fab plate that’s longer(it’s to short is the wear problem) and I’m not worried about a couple extra mills of height my plate will make. But because the new cast is look I can see having their cast set up or set ups but if they have another binding already on skis, why not have that booster stuck on their incase. A lot of days I like to start with a warm up lap to that cat skiing area(helps my back to warm up first) then finish the day with a lap there to extend the good skiing farther towards the bottom of the hill. Coles notes/it could be good for different areas. Wonder how much they areQuote:

Looks very interesting. They had a magazine-invite-demo-thing a month a go. Norwegian magazine Friflyt was stoked. If this is as good as they claim it could replace my Cochise/Mtn Lab combo, and make me buy a 1000g-boot for longer tours.Quote:

For some reason I feel that the cuff/liner looks a bit taller than Cochise etc......which would be welcome for me.
Having to reach down and pivot the entire heel piece in order to change between heel raiser heights is a deal breaker for me, given that there are multiple otherwise functionally equivalent alternatives that don’t require such a significant inconvenience many times per day.Quote:

Maybe the 3rd is too high for regular use though. IdkQuote:

New A1.0 (not RS). Takes some nice design features from the RS, the A3.0 and the current A1.0. Should be a great race boot.Quote:
