Re: 2024 Alpina Pioneer TECH XP Backcountry/Telemark ski boot review XPLORE

Hy all
I just bought my Pioneer Tech this week-end... waiting for snow.
First feeling :
- very light
- tight fit, not as roomy as Alpha shoes.
- lacing system works well
- the sole flex like Alpina Alaska NNNBC
- good ankle support

Can't wait to give you more feed back.

See you
Fred

Re: Telehiro in his own words

Hy all I think that telehiro technic is a great way to enjoy soft shoes riding, by changing a weakness in a big stength ! With soft shoes, you can't edge as well as with a hard boot.

I've skied my T1's in walk mode for many years. Taped them in place that way. Want an even smoother feel? I removed one buckle, moved another one, and have a much more balanced forward flex.
Hy Phoenix
Could you be more precise ?
Thanks

Re: Skiing in walk lock ?

All your answers are interresting !
This is maybe a new option to explore...

With this walk mode you can ski big mountain with the feeling of a Xplore set up !

Loving trying to be a telemark "pirate" :roll: !

I have the best feeling when I'm skiing in walk position... not in ski position.

Skiing in walk lock ?

Hy all During my last session i discovered that when I'm skiing in my T1, I have the best feeling ever! Best torsional stifness. Best forward lean with my back foot and my ball of foot perfectly placed. And my front foot just as vertical as I need in order to see and feel the mountains in front of m...

Re: Alfa FREE A/P/S GTX XPLORE Boot Review 2022

The 2 pins system works well, no problem. The outsole is very plaisant to walk. So everyting is perfect for ...
