PhilomathSloth Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 bought some this mornin! awesome deal tomorrow they will be selling some bindings to go with it, now the question is what bindings will they be??? Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Will most Tele bindings work with mountaineering boots? Thinking about picking these up even if I just use them as approach skis Quote
ryland_moore Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 No. You need a bill, which your mountaineering boots do not have. Instead, buy a pair of AT bindings like the 500s or 505s that will take a mountaineering boot. Keep in mind, if skiing with mountaineering boots, it ain't easy and with no cuff support, you won't be ripping up the steep n' deep. I'd recommend getting a pair of AT bindings and Boots and climbing in your AT boots. My climbing partner summitted Denali in AT boots and you can climb anything around here with AT boots as long as you do not need to French technique anything. You can also climb ice in AT boots as well. Quote
Blake Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 yeah.. but are these skis any good? I've heard mixed reviews. $60 aint much, but its $60 wasted if the skis suck. Quote
PhilomathSloth Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 decent enough for beginners. They're good light skis, great for the tour. However, if yer the agrresive type and in the crud and the steeps, you'll need somethin a little fatter. Im buyin these for a friend thats brand new to tele, so should work well for her, and hell, if they dont, i bet i could turn around and sell'em on ebay for a profit! Quote
