Lowell_Skoog Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Lowell, did you use custom stabilizers with your mountaineering boots? No. I just laced them tight when it was time to ski down. My brother Carl made instep straps with ratcheting buckles that he could use to crank his boots tighter. We nicknamed them "Carlberg straps." I still use mountaineering boots from time to time. Here's what my current pair look like. These are Dynafit compatible: The picture on the right shows a 1970s-era Cheetah Stick buckled around one of the boots. I tried the Cheetah Sticks once, but haven't used them since. I used these boots to complete my Cascade Crest ski project in 2007, including a ski ascent/descent of Glacier Peak. Here's a photo taken on one of the trip segments: A discussion of these boots can be found in this thread: http://www.turns-all-year.com/skiing_snowboarding/trip_reports/index.php?topic=2202.0 Quote
