Scarpa Typhoon Alpine Touring Boot
1 hour ago
Got a pair of these last spring. Had them fitted nicely and after 16 or so days they feel fine after about a week+ of pain. Like the weight and snug fit, they drive my midfats nicely. Good contact with the ski and the snow. Only thing is - they're cold! Because of the break in the shell for the walk mode, they take on some water and it freezes making 'em frigid. Could you recommend a solution or a compatible boot heater/warmer. Thx.

K2 SideStash Alpine Ski
November 20, 2009
1). I'm 6', 185 lbs - I ski everything well, but don't do any jumping (bad knees). Would the Fritshi AT bindings work well on these? Afraid the Dukes will add too much weight uphill.
2). Have been happy on K2 Apache Chiefs (174cm) for 2 seasons, they're quite "turny" for a 98 underfoot ski. Should I get 174cm or the 181cm Sidestash? Does the early rise really make the ski - ski shorter? Or should I stick with 174cm since the Sidestash is a wider ski?
3). Are the K2 skins of a good quality/fit, or will BD skins work just as well.

Have also had these gloves for a couple years, last year did 75 days on the hill. Have a hole in the thumb. Any suggestions on replacement or repair? Do they have a guarantee?

Black Diamond Fritschi Diamir Freeride Plus Binding
November 9, 2008
I'm new to backcountry touring last season. Am thinking of putting these on a pair of '06, K2 Chiefs (98mm waist) - will brakes be wide enough? I'm used to a downhill setup, will this be an easier transition for me than a dynafit system? - I'll be able to use my alpine boots with these - right? Does mounting them more forward or back make a difference? I'm very aggressive on just about everything and am concerned about launching at high speed. Will be doing 75% resort and 25 BC w/80 - 100 days per season. What a ya think, are these are the bindings I need. - Thanks for your help, Dave
