I'm a downhill telemarker and do a decent amount of resort skinning and some mild back country. I like skiing the woods in the east and moguls and when the conditions permit. I'm 6'5 with 31 Mondo boots and 205 lb. I've had loads of problems the last several years including the axl binding shredding...

Scarpa T1 boots size 31 mondo. These are discontinued so if you have big feet like me your out of luck on there current NTN boots. K2 mindbender skis are in excellent shape used 5 or 6 times. They were mounted incorrectly the first time at buchikas and they remounted correctly. The good part is the ...

Hoping a cobbler can just take of the soles and reglue them.

Here are the pictures

So I bought skis and bindings (madshus and rottefella). The boots seemed perfect until ..... The sole of my vibram boot came off the first time being clamped in the binding. The stitching is all intact but the sole came straight off guessing it's the glue. These were obviously older boots but in exc...

Thanks for all the advice again. Since I plan to do a lot of up and down with these I followed some of the advice from the response and went with a Madshus M68 with a rottafella super telemark. I guess I will find out if I need a skin but if I were to get one any suggestions? My thought is I will ne...

Thanks for the info. I take it if I buy something used that's for a smaller boot I'm going to not only adjust the heel plate but also recenter the binding to the boot? I've never mounted anything and don't have any shops around me. Might check out REI but doesn't look like they have a good tele supp...

I just found a pair of size 13, asolo snowfield leather boots on craigslist and they fit great. My experience with telemarketing has been 15 years of t1s and downhill skis on lift service and skinning. I wanted something lighter that I could take out locally as I live in Northern Mass and have some ...

Yeah one would think... It sucks as the axle is at a reasonable price point with otherwise solid construction and have heard and read stellar reviews. I understand that flimsy flex plate enables the three pin change but I'd take a solid targa style toe plate (stronger material) and have to open it u...

Sorry for your frustration. It really blows to drop a bunch of cash on an expensive hobby only to be in worse shape than when you bought it soon after. I had brought up the issue (read about a few instances on backcountry) before buying axl's from the authorized dealer and he assured me that it does...
