Initial reaction is good

By Chip Lamar Ranked #474 - Telemark Skiing November 1, 2009

So I have two days on the Customs so far, paired with O1 bindings (RidStiff). I am coming from the black and silver T1's, and I chose these over the Push & new T1's because there is pretty minimal weight difference. I'm 6'1",180 lbs and I ski about 80% in the backcountry, including long tours.
First day was a 30" pow day (pre-heat mold). These boots performed incredibly well once I realized I can't screw around in them- they do demand aggressive action. The skiing was phenomenal but my feet hurt at the end of the day. So, I heat molded the liners and skied the second day in manky wind crust/heavy snow conditions. These boots rocked and my feet were very comfortable after molding. My initial reaction is very positive and I'm looking forward to beating the crap out of these boots like all the rest.
P.S. - I agree with Andy about the one buckle that is a pain in the ass to release. I'll have to rig up something, too.
