The boot that started the plastic revolution continues to set the standard for modern all-mountain telemark skiing. A worthy match for any performance ski made, the new Scarpa T1 telemark boot was created for the most demanding skiers who place a premium on gravity-fueled downhill, yet who still regularly explore the backcountry. Sharing the underpinnings of the T-Race, the T1 also features the redesigned dual-density Torsion Frame for edge-cranking rigidity. With Scarpa's proven ski/walk mechanism, the T1 won't balk when pressed into service, whether skinning up for the local dawn-patrol or scouting remote big-mountain descents. Features: New dual-density Torsion Frame for maximum lateral stability Dual-density cuff and foot for optimal support and drive 4 Buckles with power strap will drive through any conditions New sole profile with reduced-rocker provides immediate edge initiation Ski/Walk mechanism locks/releases the cuff for downhill control or touring comfort Burly overlap cuff for power Easy-lock buckles micro-adjust for perfect fit and are easy to open and close Ergonomic tongue and bellows for better fit and flex Lateral cant adjustment for optimal edge control and precise adjustment New Intuition thermo-moldable liners for perfect fit and comfort Removable spoiler for added forward lean Specs: Inner Boot: Intuition (High) Shell: Pebax® Cuff: Pebax® Tongue: Pebax® Buckles: 4 + Power Strap Forward Lean: 18˚-21˚ Sole: Escape SCARPA/Vibram® Weight: 3810 grams (Size 27/pair) Size: 22.5-31 Color: Black Skiing Magazine: "Scarpa's workhorse keeps getting sturdier. Last season, it got a fourth buckle, dual-density plastic, a wraparound inner frame, and flatter soles for quick turn initiation. This year it gets heat-moldable Intuition liners. The result? Testers loved the generous cuff height, easy angulation, and 'touchy-feely' character." Backcountry Magazine '07: "Last year the redesigned T1 was a test hit for several reasons. First, Scarpa removed the rocker on both the T1 and the Race. Translation: Energy is immediately propelled into the ski as soon as you even think about bending your knee. It also makes for easy alpine turns, because your heel is constantly, and squarely on the heel piece when you're not in the tele position. The flip side is, with a flat sole, this boot is not nearly the scrambler is used to be. Still, it's got a solid walk mode and with today's free-pivot touring bindings, who needs rocker? And with the new Intuition liner this year, Scarpa has the best liner on the market, period." '08: "There's a reason this is the number one selling tele boot in America. It's as smooth as it is powerful, and as adept at mashing moguls as popping face shots. A Vermont tester said, 'Seasoned skiers will love this boot because it tackles the whole mountain. Resort rugged, backcountry bomber.' One reason for the accolades is a heat-moldable, dual-density Intuition liner with a wraparound cuff that comes pre-lasted for most fee. The bottom of the liner is even rubberized, for relaxing aprés ski in a hut. Four buckles hold feet snugly in place, and the asymmetric bellows deliver silky-smooth flex. If you spend your time equally in and out of bounds, testers say the T1 is, 'The do it all boot!' The only compromise is weight."
