Colby, 9 tries out his mom's Scarpa Aliens at our closed local mountain. Quinn, 11 teaches proper skin application and how to step into race bindings. "You need to learn how to get into these bindings fast Colby."
Colby was impressed with the performance of the lightweight boots. He's only skinned on a tele set-up in the past. I asked him how it was skinning up;
"It wasn't hard, it was easy!"
"It didn't tire me out at all!"
"It was really fun!"
"It's way easier then tele skis, I could really tell the difference!"
"I went 10 mph!"
"Once you're done it doesn't feel like your really tired, especially on the bootpack."
"We did a bootpack daddy."
The entire family has now skied the Scarpa Alien 1.0's, 4 for 4.
