| I decided to try to learn telemark skiing after 20 years of alpine skiing. I took some lessons but found it difficult to drop my rear leg as needed to make a telemark turn. After trying telemark turns with leather boots I realized that the 3- and 4-buckle plastic telemark boots I was renting were simply too tall and stiff for me to flex. At 5 feet tall and 103 lbs I lack the size and leverage to get a typical 3-buckle boot to work well for me. I bought these hoping they would be easier to flex. I had the liners molded by a boot fitter and tried them at a downhill ski area with G3 Nectar skis and Bombshell bindings, and they worked perfectly. They have plenty of lateral stiffness but are soft enough to bend as needed for telemark turning. They even have enough support to make alpine style turns. While shorter than most telemark boots, I find they have plenty of height for me. I believe they will also be great for touring once they break in a bit. It is a great shame that Scarpa does not make these boots any more. One caveat--when these boots arrived I found that the liners were so stiff and short that I could not get my foot into them. I usually wear a women's size 5 1/2 or 6, and I ordered the size 22 T3 boot. I took the boots to a custom boot fitter who checked the shell size and molded the liners to fit. If I had not done this I would have ended up buying boots that were a half size too large. I strongly recommend having an experienced boot fitter adjust the liners to fit. | |
