  1. I like that idea for all mountain and powder.  Possibly relaxed carving.

    Now just design a step-in without the lateral rigidity of INTEC/FINTEC and I'll be throwing dollars at them!

    Kemper boots from the late 80's had this idea.  With enough straps and duct tape you could make them work but they didn't last long.  The lower shell edge ate liners...

  2. Definitely not an all day ride.  Great performance on a hard race course but would be hell on all but the most perfectly groomed "Hero" snow.

    As I get on in years (and size), I enjoy cruising as much as charging every run.  I have gone to a much softer settings on my boots, Suzukas with BTS (yellow/blue). I find it much easier to vary the size of a carve and adjust for changing snow conditions with a little more boot flex.

    My old Raichle 323's that have the cuffs pinned and a locked RAB tend to gather a lot of dust these days.

  3. I agree with most.  It wasn't ski season until you saw the latest Warren Miller film.  I especially enjoyed the years with Scot Schmidt and Glen Plake. (Steep couloirs on 215 super G skis? Are you insane???) I feel those two paved the way for today's level of extreme skiing and boarding.

    Heading up today for a few runs, with thoughts of Mr. Miller.
