Ski-ing footwear for Van Winkle

Recommended Posts

Am well-rested old-school xc skier looking to get new gear. I grew up reading magazine stories of Galen Rowell, et al., circumnavigating Mckinley on relatively narrow skis and three-pin bindings (he later said it was a dumb idea). I skied almost daily in New England for a few seasons, & also various trips ---including a few weekends in the Cascades, which made me almost swear off the sport on waxable wood skis.

 

 

I'm bewildered by what to get, as my favorite ski shoes had leather soles....I started at the lifts with lace-ups.

 

Right now, I've got some decent used backcountry skis with "micro edges" and NNC Backcountry bindings. I also have a pair of heavy-weight three=pins. So what boots should I get for backpacking on mule trails or whatever? & should I re-install the three-pins?
