I'm not clear on making a recommend for a shop that has the boot fitter and the boots. Anyone else? Skian, you recommended some "pro" shops the other day...? Garmont is very similar to Dynafit last, but perhaps a bit wider in the front (on average). Fitting wide feet is really not that big a deal. Perhaps upsize one shell size, and/or do some punching, and of course use custom molded liners. Hey Fred, sorry, your comment got held for some reason in our moderation lineup.

Tristep info here: http://www.wildsnow.com/articles/dynafit_faq/tri-step_faq.html If you're skiing avalanche terrain or fall much, ski brakes are recommended so doing a binding upgrade for that reason alone could be a good idea.

Sun, 26 Sep 2010 01:32:18 +0000 http://www.wildsnow.com/?p=1001#comment-28267 Hey Lou, question for ya... I bought a pair of circa 2001 dynafit bindings in nearly virgin shape last year for $120. I mounted them on a pair of K2 Shuksans-thinking I'd use them as a spring touring set-up. I haven't used the rig yet and am thinking of selling them- I've got a buyer interested in the rig plus skins for $325- so I'd be making a bit of $ off the deal. My current bc rig is a pair of 183 Voile Insanes w/Dynafit TLT-verticals. They're fun, but almost too wide in the tip for the average skin track. So I'd like to get something like the BD Aspect ski in the future for my everyday touring rig. OK, now to the question- Do you think I should just keep the older Dynafits to eventually mount onto a pair of newer skis? They don't have brakes, but are like new. Is this year (2001) binding a good one? Used Dynafits are kinda hard to come by. Whatdya think?
