Alpina Pioneer Vital on sale when???

[JohnSKepler]

Hi. New to the forum. I've been XC skiing for a few years now and, with a move and a life change, really got hooked on XC BC last year. I've been doing a lot of reading and exercising getting ready for the snow to start falling and am trying to get a jump on gear. I'd like to start learning light duty telemark, or maybe it's just XCD and am putting together a kit for that.

I've about decided on the Asnes Falkentind 62 ski, Xplore bindings, and either Alpina Alaska XP, Alpina Pioneer Vital, or Alfa Free boots. I would only drop the coin on a Free is they fit perfectly. I mean, like a condom. Nothing fits my feet perfectly so it is unlikely but it would be worth it!

I've seen a lot of videos and reviews on the Pioneer but no indication that it has gone on sale anywhere or even will go on sale anywhere this year. I do want to get gear early because stuff is available now and my sizes are always gone first!

Any guesses on when the Pioneer shelf stock might start hitting stores???
