Alexander K., I know your a fan of the Scarpa T-Race...have you ever skied the BD Customs...any opinion or thoughts? I've thought about a Gotama/BD Custom setup...I'm skiing the Scarpa T2x's and have been thinking of going stiff with the boot. I've been on 189 Hippy Stinx, but their a tad long for me...thoughts?

Hey man, I have skied the Customs, and liked them a lot. Going to a stiffer boot was what really took my telemark skiing to the next level, it's well worth the investment. The bellows on the Custom are a little stiffer than the T-Race, and the boot itself fits really great, especially in the heel. The only issue that I had with it was the Boa liner, it takes a really long time to tighten down. Other than that, I'm a fan. As for the Gotamas, I'm getting a pair for myself for next season. If you're going with the Customs and the Gotamas together, I'd recommend the Hammerhead as a binding (as opposed to the O1). Since the Gotamas have an all-wood core, you're going to want the strength of the six screw pattern of the HHs with the burly boots.
