New Scarpa AT Boots for 2012/2013 from OR Show -- VIDEO

  • 2012-02-12 17:59:11

    Kim Miller, CEO at Scarpa North America, was kind enough to give us the lowdown on the new line-up for Scarpa. We're already big fans of the Scarpa Maestrale AT boot so we were happy to see the advent of the Scarpa Maestrale RS--a high-test version of the Maestrale. Kim also shares the new Scarpa Skadi AT boot and the Pegasus with us. Looking good. Can't wait to get on 'em and tell you more. Thanks again to Kim and the Scarpa folks!

    Nice to see the new boots.  Coming form the Scarpa Mobe I'll be gald to try something that walks btter but still skis well.  Does anyone know if the "Grilamide"? boots can be punched?

    Hi 2wheeler. I am trying to dig up an official response for you. I assume yes but I am checking.

    SeÑor 2wheeler:


    I quote; "Yes, you can punch it out, but it’s more finicky like Pebax, and you can’t move it nearly as far as you can with PU."


    The truth.  And nothing but.
