PRODUCT 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.
Product Reviews
Only a slight change in the T-Race.
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 boot’s price stays the same. The T-Race has a fixed forward lean and no walking mechanism. Because, after all, it’s called skiing.
Stiffest, Burliest Tele Boot Ever
Wow, this boot is a monster. They're extremely responsive, and since the 4 buckles offer so much support and control, they're ideal for pushing big, heavy skis. The bellows took awhile to gain some suppleness, so the break-in period was a bear, but now these are definitely my favorite tele boot. I also have the Garmont Ener-G's, and I just vastly prefer Scarpa's overlapping liner over Garmont's tongue liner. The Scarpa's tend to pack out much less over a couple seasons compared to the Garmont's, too. One caveat: these are HEAVY boots, and make touring harder (my T-Race's outweigh my Ener-G's by over a pound for the pair). If you have a "Scarpa foot", you'll love these boots!
Power control steering
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.
