I definitely have my eye on the Intuition liners. Thanks, great color too! Somewhere in Vermont probably, I love Stratton, Stowe and Mount Snow, in that order...preferably somewhere during the week, when the cord is plenty and the people are not!

I originally thought the Titanflex were sold out, but was able to snag a set. I GOTTA be done now!?!

I've been "practicing on my soft boot set-up for the past 20+ years! Upgrade option complete!

I am absolutely looking into some sort of "Out West" riding with a group of similar minded riders!!

Sean at Donek assures me I will be fine in the F2's. Now I'm worried. My angles on my current soft set up are fairly aggressive and my boots are as stiff as you can get, so I'm hoping the re-transition back into the alpine world will be pretty quick. We shall see! Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Well, after lots of research and lots of advice and forum suggestions, the deal with Donek is 99% done! I decided to stay with Donek and package everything through them. The potential savings of $350.00 overall was tough to pass up. I went back to the Deeluxe line and chose the Track 700T, seemed as if it's going to be a better choice for my feet and riding style. I coupled them with the F2 Intec RS bindings based on advice from the older dudes on this forum, and step-ins, for me makes total sense. My current K2 Auto bindings have an automatic toe strap connected to the upper strap, so I only need to crank down 1 strap as opposed to 2...and it is a pleasure! Once Sean and I work out the final deal and apply the advertised discounts, I hope to have everything in my mitts by mid-January! Thanks to all who took the time to hook me up with great suggestions and advice. It's been a long time out of the hard boot scene, it feels good to get back!!

I really like the idea of stepping in...you know, as a old guy. So I'm looking closer at the F2 intec's. Coupling the bindings with the board with Donek is a solid deal. Thanks for the insight and advice!

I am pretty much sold on the Donek Voyager, it's now down to the bindings and boots. I've heard the F2's wont hold my 225 lbs. so I'm still looking around. Same with the boots, Deeluxe 700T vs. UPZ RC12. Thanks for advice! Thanks, much better advice and opinions here vs. Facebook. Thank you!

Yes sir, the RC12, is reportedly for normal, every day carving...exactly what I am looking for. Although Sean at Donek is offering a great package deal for the board & boot with the Deeluxe 700T...I am still on the fence with the Deeluxe vs. the UPZ.

Any large F2 Intec Titanflex in stock? If so, total price shipped to USA?

Well, after about 20+ years away from the hard boot riding world, I am ready to jump back in. For the past 10 years I've been riding a soft boot set-up (Burton Driver X Boots, K2 Zeppelin 164, K2 Auto Bindings). A pretty standard soft boot setup with what used to be (2008) the stiffest soft boot on the market. I can carve a pretty decent set of turns with this setup, but the riding is not at the super deep carve level I want to try to get back to. I sold all my alpine boards and boots (Burton PJ7, Burton Asym) a while back and after much research; I found that the alpine world has certainly come a long way since the mid 90's. I feel it's finally time to transition back over to a hard boot setup. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on board, binding & boot package deal below through Donek & UPZ. Based on opinions and research, I feel this setup is best for my riding style. I don't plan on any hard core racing, but the faster and deeper I can go, the better! I am primarily riding solid intermediate groomers and the more cord I see, the better. I've gone back and forth with research on the UPZ's entire line and the Deeluxe 700T and from what I've read, I think the UPZ's give me more options and certainly get high praise. I am 6'2" tall (182cm) & 225 lbs (102kg) 54 years young and rode old school alpine boards for 10 years back in the 90's, primarily in the Northeast, (Vermont, NH, Maine). Here's is the $1,700.00+ package I put together: ~ Board - Donek - Voyager Free Carve - 175cm ~ Boots - UPZ 2019 RC12 Shoxxter - 28 ~ Bindings - SG Performance – Race Bail Thoughts, advice, opinions. Thanks!
