BTW.... I wrote a ready for ski article over the summer for a Vermont paper. One drill- walk around in your boots !!! Yep for many- this is 'exercise'.

I'm gonna ban you, too.

I read just about this whole thread and it seems I'm always the guy with the one odd question, (which to me never seems odd at all), but as usual I'm always the guy coming from another direction.
So, somebody answer me this: I just bought new skis, the Motive 86Ti. Therefore I just started shopping for bindings and was surprised to see all the WTR bindings. Never heard of them until a few days ago, so I came here to look for some info and here it is. Except for my question: I have 2-year old Dodge ski boots with standard alpine lug soles, and I am unlikely to buy new boots anytime soon. So is there any reason at all I should NOT get a WTR Look Pivot for example? They seem to be cheaper than the "Old" pivot bindings now. Am I "safer" sticking with last years Look binding since I'll likely not need a WTR, or is the performance & safety with the new WTR so good with alpine soles, that it's foolish to NOT get the WTR, just in case, for future compatibility?
Actually great question and worthy of asking, you get a cookie.I read just about this whole thread and it seems I'm always the guy with the one odd question, (which to me never seems odd at all), but as usual I'm always the guy coming from another direction.

Technically they are not currently compatable. You can have a shop test them, they will fail visual inspection but see if they will do the actual relaase test.Has anybody tested a GripWalk boot in Pivot Duals? I know the vendors are staking out turf, but mechanically it seems WTR and GripWalk might have enough overlapping features to allow crossover. But of course it would be nice to prove it with some actual release testing. I want to use my Dalbello Lupo Carbons in Pivots. My favorite boot and favorite binding of all time. I don't care if they are classified as AT or alpine, they're what I prefer for downhill.
