  1. I appreciate all of the advice. Now I have lots of things to try out. Sounds like before I switch to HB I should tinker with my setup. I use flat clickers because they are easier to get in/out. And very stiff K2 boots. I use power straps as well. They are cranked to the point of preventing circulation, so they are not loose. +30 degrees front, -7 degrees back. Soulder width apart. As for OffpisteHardboots comment about it not making sence, it probably is my technique. I probably don't bend my knees enough and jaming stuff in the back of my boot forces me to bend my knees. When I turn from heel to toe in the deep stuff, I un-weight the back and try to kick my rear foot back. But I often can't get turned far enough (because I'm pushing snow) and I end up standing up with my legs straight in the middle of a turn, then I have to horse it a round a bit more which can get a bit hairy when you're heading for a tree. I can carve like a pro on the groomers but powder's another story for me. I actually did make some wedges to put under my clickers but they were too steep. I'll try one just for my back foot and make it less steep. I'll also see if there is a way to move my boot towards the toe edge.
  2. I've been riding for 12 years and have clickers on a Khyber. Don't laugh, I have a bad right hip so the click in/out works well for me. The problem is, in deep powder in the trees I have trouble going from heel to toe. I find it's easier when I jam stuff in the back of my boot to increase my forward lean. So, would a hardboot with a lot of forward lean solve my problem, or are hardboots not good in the pow?
  3. Those sound good too. What condition are they in and how much do you want for them?
  4. Looking for used 28 mondo boots that either have step-in heels (like intec) or can be retrofitted. Thanks
  5. Pardon the hijack, but I'm looking for 28s with or retrofittable with intec heels.
  6. Looking for hard boots that either have step-in heels or can be retrofitted. Thanks.
  7. If these have Intec heels or if the heels can be relpaced with intec, I'll buy them.
  8. Thanks for all the great tips. Now I just have to buy the gear.
  9. thanks. So, you just step down and the heels engage. Do they ever jam with snow? Or, get bound up?
  10. I've been riding clickers for 10 years primarily because they're easy in and easy out. I can click in and out on the fly. I even added a 6 inch extension on to the lever to make it that much easier. I'm thinking about getting a carving board and hard boots. Can anyone make a recommendation on bindings that are easy in and out?
  11. Add me to the list, if the others drop out.
