I bought the Scarpa Tornado because they are one of the few boots that will fit on a downhill and AT binding. I took them out for the first time to the resort with the downlhill tongues inserted in the boot. The boots are extremely comfortable and I really like how light weight they are. The problem is that the boot will not allow me to lean far enough forward to ride on my edges. It forces me to ski in a very upright position.Next time I go out I will try the walking tongue which allows me to lean farther forward but is there anything I can do to allow me to get my knee out farther towards my toe?

Nick have you tried switching the boot into walk mode , then lean all the way forward and staying forward click into ski mode. There are two forward lean positions you may be clicking into the more upright position which happens when you click into ski mode upright._______________________________________________________________________Also, there is a little screw on the side of the boot that adjusts the amount of forward lean that you can give the boot. You will see a sticker around the screw that indictes which direction to turn it in to increase the lean. Scarpa boots take a little while to get used to, but once you do...sick.
