Looking for something light for long tours with my wife in the Sierras. The T4's that I'm using are overkill for the touring that I do with her and the dogs. It would be nice if you're in Reno, or close by, so we can skip the shipping step...

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the PM's. They look like great deals, but I'm looking for something lighter. Something like these Alpina and Rossignol boots:

I do own a few pair of plastic boots that I use for downhill skiing, so I'm just looking for something real light for track and trail skiing.

Skip the Rossi boots. All reports we've had they are not so great.

The 75mm Alaska is a nice boot. It's wicked soft in the sole though. 5min on this forum and you'll find about all the info you ever need for them. Pretty much everyone on here has a pair or two.

I have a fairly old pair of leather Merrills in size 9. Warm, supportive, and functionally perfect. $60 + shipping. Email me (RawdoMG at optonline dott net) for more pics.

I have some old but lightly used Asolo Glissade 350 that were sold to me as size 9.5, but I'd say they fit more like a 9 (the actual size marking is rubbed off the tongue). I found them too narrow across the forefoot for my D width feet and never actually skied them myself, but they seem like a similar class of boot to those Rossignols but with a full leather upper.

Similar to this one (not my auction)

$60 shipped to you.

I also have a pair of Alico Teletour leather boots size 9. They are heavier and stiffer than the Asolos, with a single plastic buckle, like the ones shown here:

$90 shipped.

93mm across the widest part of the insole. I found them kind of narrow for my D width feet, and I now use a pair of Garmont leather boots that fit wider (but have a 90mm wide insole... go figure).
