Scarpa T-Race Telemark Ski Boot

Scarpa T-Race Telemark Ski Boot description

Scarpa built the burly Scarpa T-Race Telemark Boots to drive big sticks at high speed. If you're an advanced telemarker, these are some of stiffest, most aggressive boots you can put on. The T-Race's dual density torsion frame gives these boots lateral stiffness, which increases power when you're arcing out high speed GS style turns on the groomers. At the same time, the T-Race Boots' asymmetric bellows produce a smooth, consistent flex, keeping your feet pain-free during long days at the resort. Four buckles and a Booster strap on these Scarpa telemark boots provide enough power to drive big powder skis in any conditions. While the Scarpa T-Race is most at home at high speed, the boot's decreased rocker sole provides immediate edge initiation for dancing through powder-filled glades.

Bottom Line: If charging gnarly lines in gnarly conditions is your thing, slip on the Scarpa T-Race and show the alpine skiers what a real turn looks like.

The lines are blurred between resort, backcountry, frontcountry and sidecountry skiing. If I want to do a little of everything, in the same day, in the same boot, I can. This is high performance stability and control for taking the tele-turn to this next level everyone keeps talking about. With a free-pivot binding (the O1 perhaps) I don't mind the lack of a touring mode on the uphill and it leaves me thinking yipeee on the downhill.

Only a slight change in the T-Race. Along with the same four-buckle, high-performance stiffness, the boot comes with an Intuition liner, a thermo liner more durable, lightweight and comfortable than in previous Scarpa models. Despite the upgrade, though, the boots price stays the same. The T-Race has a fixed forward lean and no walking mechanism. Because, after all, its called skiing.
