2006-2007 Scarpa T2 Lady Telemark Boots Rated 91 out of 100 Points

Scarpa T2 Lady Telemark Boot Scores 91 out of 100 Points

 

By: Julie Sexton

 

Likes: These boots are perfect for the advanced alpine skier looking to work on a new technique of Telemark Skiing. They are extremely comfortable when buckled in and on the snow, and make me feel stable as I learn proper technique.

 

Dislikes: The buckles are somewhat difficult to deal with when you initially buckle them. Since they are on a ratchet buckle system, it takes time to get all parts aligned. Once on the buckle system is in place, it is easy to adjust the buckles tighter or looser.
