I've been looking at the same two boots and a few others. I understood the lacing on the Trango Ice EVO to be specifically designed to work on the heel lift issue.
I'm confused ... you get an inch of heel lift, that's insane! I'm having a hard time picturing the amount of slop that must exist between your ankle and the inside of the boot. Please elaborate.
Sketch ... you know the skiing going to suck, let alone the drive up and back ... I'd say you need to be drinkin beer.
I got the offspring covered, see ya there!!
the one I have was made by Camp .. it weights approx 13 oz. A real shovel gets it done a hell of a lot faster. The Voile shovel I have weights approx 25 oz ... to me it's worth the extra weight .... if you want it you can have it
45cm Black Diamond BRS X-15 Hammer in excellent shape. Old style recurve pick included. Great second alpine tool ... $45 firm.
PDXer's can arrange hand-off, otherwise you pay shipping from Vancouver, WA .... 98685
I will leave it up here until next Tuesday 12/6.
