Does anybody know if there is going to be any significant changes in the design of the 2017 Track 700 - as compared to this years model? Anybody seen 2017 color??

Bryan, thanks for the photo - that looks like the same setup that Jim uses. How much do you weigh? Jim - Do you change out springs for that "softer tune" for pow days??

Hey Bruin - Great! I got reds on the way!! I'll try reds on top at Mammoth 20/21 weekend Bruin when you changd out the top springs how did you know how tight/far to crank down that retaining nut?? I see the bottom sprin/nut helps me adjust my cant angle which I have marked on the boot to match.....but when you changed out the top springs how did you know how tight/far to crank down that retaining nut??

Hey Jim- Hmm...that's an interesting point about the softer setup for pow..................I've been wanting an excuse for another set of boots! Leave my blues on the old boots for pow and put stiffer reds on new boots for EC days - I like it!! Also using the springs mixed like you suggest would seem to be a step between using all blues and all reds - right??

Slope I booked a room for the 20th just in case it's worth staying ....................got floorspace if anubody needs to crash.

Yeah Callie I put my front foot lower Blue spring on the grinding wheel to shorten it to get the angle and stiffness I wanted.......still think I overflex the boot/bts...which is why I just ordered some red springs!

Hey Slope - Ah, I'm a worry wort and I'll feel I'll be missing out, conditions wise if I don't go this weekend ........but I will try to come back down the 20th

Erazz Thanks for the info and the photo. You going to Loveland this weekend to give them a go?? I wish I had a set of reds to ride and compare!

Anybody coming Up??

Hey Keiian, Yep - I also grinded down my shorter blue spring on my front boot to adjust the lean ....been thinking I am still compressing it ...so want to try a shorter red spring on the front boot

Wow.........why didn't I think of that..........thanks for the subtlety BM

I plan to be there. Any other takers????

Just curious - For us 200+ lb carvers using BTS what color spring are you riding? Are you riding split colors or different colors on front than back? I am on Blues front/back....but thinking of trying red on the front boot to stiffen up the flex

Pokkis from Finland says:...... "you see reason for it on rear boot when turning it on back side turn" What do the Sages say to this??? Hmmm.....seems like you could you use Track 700 Asym on front foot and Sym boot on rear foot??

Thanks Pokkis Let's see what the consensus say about that.....

Thanks for the reply Bomatic, Can a boot shell get over flexed out/gotten to soft? Any way to tell?? BJ

Thinking of purchasing some new Deeluxe boots. My 4 year old red/white Track 700's are taking a beating from my 225lbs and from kicking the balled up snow off the boot against the rear heel receiver on my TD3 SW SI's...lots of gouges on the plastic and the fintec heels! So.......what's the difference in the new Deeluxe boots with symmetrical flex vs. my 700's with asymmetrical flex?...and how does that difference translate into ride performance for my 225lbs trying to EC??

Hey Ladia It was great riding with ya Sat. morning.......even in the whiteout! To bad everything from mid mountain up was all socked in ....but even with the limited terrain from mid Mtn. down I got some mini EC turns with both hands down on the snow............which was pretty good having not been out in three weeks and I was riding with a broken arch strap on my Track 700 rear boot!..........my legs were shot by noon but I think a good day over all! How was Sunday for ya? I'll be up next weekend Sat. and Sun - weather dependant. I got a room booked if anybody needs a floor to crash.

Thanks Slopestar - Yea...that sounds familar .....but I'll have to go to the Main lodge anyway to the ticket window to get a day pass first anyway...then I'll drive back to Stump Alley Thanks Slopestar

If the conditions are good I'll be up both days. I'm in, Ladia is in Slopestar? DrSchawrtz? Guiseppe? Anybody Else? - Were meeting at the Stump Alley Chair 8:30am I'll bring a camera to get some EC footage if the conditions allow - but could be all POW!

Ladia, I only get up to Mammoth once or twice each year, so don't remember if I've been over in Stump Alley area. Are the directions to that parking pretty obvious from downtown?

Slopestar - how was Mammoth????

Yes - I'm a convert also - Love riding my Moss Snowstick U5 in the POW and the groom with my Hardboots and TD3 SW SI's www.mosssnowstick.com/product-2016-2017/u5

Slopestar tell us how Mammoth goes for ya this weekend! I'm still stuck on the wrong coast but will be back in Cali May 2.... Dr. S and Ladia..........see ya at Mammoth May 7/8

Great photos Ladia! Were all the POW hounds out for a weekend POW day? You been out to Mammoth lately?? I'm on the East coast until May 2nd and wondering what's gonna be open and rideable May 7/8th
