What's the consensus on Springpin reliability?
I can't speak in the name of the consensus, but I personally didn't have any problems with my 5 pairs of Springpin-loaded XP boots so far... Not even on my 3-season old Alaska XPs... 8-)

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

I managed to test the Pioneer Pro in a shop and came away fairly unimpressed. I'm very curious... Could you please tell us which boots exactly had impressed you in the last decades? Because for me, the Pioneers are just the most mind-blowing boot I have seen in 45 years of skiing... So if you're un...

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

Very exciting Johnny. You kind of implied it is similar, but how does the fit compare to the Alaska XPs (in terms of length and width)? Also, any thoughts on availability for next year. It seems like the Pioneer Pro still isn't widely available. Yep, VERY exciting! 8-) And yep, the fit is very simi...

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

Alpina Pioneer Tech XP ski boot.jpg Yep, it's a technical backcountry boot. A high-tech nordic boot for the advanced skier. Yet another sensation from Alpina. It's amazing because while the Tech shares a few things with other XP boots, it feels totally different from the Alaska, the Pro and the Fre...

Re: Alpina Pioneer PI Pro Vital XP Discoverer XPLORE boots Review 2022

Actually, I am looking for a reason not to try Xplore and stick with NNNBC but for that I must disconnect from TTalk :shock: Absolutely. Unquestionably. And also, stay away from the Pioneer TECH ... | OR | Go ahead, wreck your life. Ask yourself why you are working so hard all year round. Question ...

Re: Alpina Pioneer PI Pro Vital XP Discoverer XPLORE boots Review 2022

@Johnny I just wonder if the sizing is similar to Alaska NNNBC? Yep, the fit is quite similar... Perhaps a tiny, tiny little bit tighter for the Pros, but it might just be the stiffness that gives me that impression... Really, they fit quite the same... Also, you must have mentioned that before in ...

Re: Johnny, Pierre, and the beast. Or the new Telemark Tech Norm (TTN) vs the future of XCD (NTN-BC)

I just stumbled into this old post of mine, since after the release of the XPLORE system, my old NTN-BC idea seems to revive some new interest... (Hi Jeff!) Obviously, XPLORE is still nowhere near my NTN-BC concept... But anyway, that's not my point. I just wanted to share this old promo picture of ...
