Write your question here... For an intermediate tele'er, mostly groomers, some out of bounds, enjoys powder days, would a T1 be a better choice than a T-Race? Any reason not to go for the T-Race?

buy the T1, seriously, you do not need the T-race. The T-1 is much more versatile and will have stiffness to spare -- even after you become an expert

It depends, from your description it sounds like you like to take it easy on the groomers most of the time and you like powder (obviously.) :) Being an intermediate you might want to go for the T1. But if you plan on charging hard all over the mountain in the near future you would want the T-Race. P.S. The T1 has a walk mode and the T-Race does not.-------The T-Race requires an aggressive skiing style in order to perform. Additionally, you are going to need bindings with stiffer cartridges to really get the most out of the boot. If you aren't skiing with a lot of power, it's going to be too stiff for you. I'd go with the T1.
