Wish it were a bit stiffer for Alpine but find it serious enough to use all around. I am on Barons and 177 Vendo Volkls. I weigh 200 and these are putting up with my abuse so far.... the firm bumps under and snow drifts over can compress them to the max, but generally, I am very happy - coming off a 120 flex race boot...

They'll of course work with a hybrid binding like the Duke/Baron (or the various Diamir iterations), but so will any alpine boot (either alpine downhill or alpine touring -- well, except for a few superlight touring/racing boots).

Im looking to do about 40 percent back country and 60 percent resort skiing, and it seems like these would work pretty well for that? I also just wanted to make sure these would work with the marker barons, because i know not all at boots with with all bindings.

All are recommended.

I have Volkl Gotamas and Marker Barons right now, and just wanted to make sure if these would work well (especially with the Barons). Thanks.
