Whit,
I bet the T2's are the closest thing to what you been skiing in the T1, I think it wuld be a perfect blend betwee control and the weight you desire for the backcountry. Tricky on the shell size though as it ha chenged from what you have. I am a size 11.0..I take a 27.5-28 with ample room. The next shell up is the 28.5-29 . if you border line 11.5 I would go with he 28 shell.

Scarpa Maestrale Alpine Touring Boot

October 24, 2011

Jeff.. you know its all personal preference. these boots do only have a 100 flex so you need to make the call . They definately will not fit in alpine bindings they must go into an AT binding. If you looking for a resort ripper with Dynafit fitting try the Skookum or Mobe .. skookum being a good blend of both worlds. If your going to use a Dynafit binding for the resort as well as Bckcountry I would say this would be good. If you trying to drive a ski that is more than 120 underfoot the maestrell could be a bit sqirlley for you.

I cn speak for Scarpa. The Shaka is the best bet for her volume issues . The liners are intuition so they can be custom molded to her. We can get some extra volume by heating the liners and wearing a thick sock and craning the buckles down during the molding process. Will be tight when we are doing this but in the end when she has her everyday ski sock on should make it happen.

November 15, 2010

The Mobe is a good choice has a 104 last so good for your wide forefoot. and the intuition heat moldebale liners will accomodate your skinny heel and pretty much all of your foot . I would make sure you get these custom molded at a good Outdoor shop or Ski shop that specializes in boot fitting ..its worth the $

Scarpa F1 Race Alpine Touring Boot

November 15, 2010

Fred I feel the F1 would be your best option as far as width. Course I am the rep but have tried them all on as well an I could honestly say this would be the widest of the bunch. The liners are heat moldable so you could get some width by molding these with a large sock then using a thinner sock to ski in. These are made to have a performance fit so a larger size may help but would be a bit loopy for a race boot.

Scarpa NTN Binding Plate/Heel

November 5, 2010

John,
This is an addtional mounting kit. So if you have a pair of NTN bindings already ..you can buy this kit ( instead of another whole set of bindings) to mount another pair of skis. The Binding Chasis ( main part of binding) Has two screws it slides off and you can slide it on to your other pair of boards ..pretty cool and cost saving .

Scarpa Terminator X Pro Boot

November 3, 2010

Scarpa guy here .. the last on this boot is a 102mm ( medium fit ) this measurement is taken at the widest portion of the shell in the foot area. These do have custome liners as well and can be heated and molded to your foot type
If your looking at other models of Scarpa we do have different lasts for different models.
