Altai Tao

[Krummholz]

@Krummholz
Please forgive me if I missed this in this thread-
what boot are you using with the Tao?
Also- you have NNNBC on the Hok? What BC boot?
......
For reference, I have the 145 Hok- no interest in the 125.

I ski 75mm exclusively. My primary boot is the Fischer Transnordic 75 for telemark. I even use them with some Rossi 86 touring skis with Rotte Super Telemark 75mm bindings. Second is the Alico Arctic for flat and rolling terrain. My friend was using my Hoks for a while with the NNNBC binding. When I use the Hoks I put Voile 75’s on them. I use the Hoks primarily as a snowshoe replacement.

I have the Hoks 145 and I am debating whether getting the Taos or the Koms at 172 (to do what I already do with the Hoks really, going around the forest and over snowmobile tracks). I am happy with the Hoks but when I can get on a snowmobile track they seem terminally slow (and they get terminally terminal on a snowmobile track going steeply downhill). I was wondering whether the Taos or the Koms would be slightly faster/better control in those snowmobile tracks. BTW I say Koms 172 because those are what I could easily get. I am leaning towards the Taos at the moment.

Just got my Taos but I am missing their special set of screws, it should arrive in the next few days. I am going to test them on snowmobile tracks so I’ll tell you how it goes!
