How many of you ski with your boots in "Walk" mode?

Something I've been wondering about....

I'd say I ski 90% of the time in walk mode with all of my set ups. On piste or going mach 3 I switch my boots to ski.
I'm on T1s with a variety of skis. Had Syner-Gs previously and skied those primarily in walk mode, too.

I guess this is more relevant to those of us skiing plastic boots with a walk mode and not the XCD crowd so much, but what do you guys do?

Depends on whether you're asking whether I do it intentionally.

I accidentally had only one boot in walk mode skiing this weekend and was thinking "Wow, I've got a little more off season rust than I thought!" Felt much better after that was squared away...

I am on the list of always in walk mode. On rare occasion (miserable icy conditions), I flip the switch to ski mode.

VERY cool man...

(As an aside- how have you made out with your redesign of the Asnes USGIs?)

Haven't even gotten around to it yet. Very busy work season, nasty case of shingles and laziness. I have successfully redesigned my belly into a more round shape though.... :D

Very sorry to hear about the shingles dude- awful- I have watched my father and a friend go through that painful ordeal.

T-race and in walk mode unless I'm actually racing.
