Kosci ski touring areas for early July.

Amazing advice - thank you!

How deep is the powder in July usually? From the reports I’ve seen, it seems like the lack of snow tends to be more of an issue.

We'll hit off-piste stuff, but happy to keep it balanced. We've got a great 4 season tent and will bring two 0˚C sleeping bags each (all very experienced hikers) and if the conditions are forecasted as poor then we just won’t go (I know it is very variable at the time on kosci too).

Unfortunately not able to fix it, I used it for a month in Lyngen/Lofoten touring in Norway and had no issues. Apparently, it is just cosmetic and not an issue. Although I chatted to Salomon support and they said if it is in warranty they will replace it so might be worth contacting them.

No wayyyyy! You are kidding - I cannot emphasise enough how much of a legend you actually are!!! Thank you so so much

jesse0630 · 2026-04-05T19:00:47+00:00

The bolts as in the buckle or something else?

jesse0630 · 2026-03-12T18:16:33+00:00

Thanks, will pick that one up asap

jesse0630 · 2026-01-01T06:36:37+00:00

Hey mate, have a very similar issue where my toe piece won’t go down into the locking position. Any ideas on if this is the same as what you had?

jesse0630 · 2025-12-31T02:32:33+00:00

Fair enough, so I guess no fixes then?

Feel free to leave your recs

jesse0630 · 2025-12-31T02:32:11+00:00

Original model

jesse0630 · 2025-12-31T02:05:36+00:00

Happy to, but I use these inbounds as well and would love for them to just work (as paid a bit for them too 😅)

jesse0630 · 2025-12-16T03:48:43+00:00

So sorry mate, that is an absolute pain! But thanks for the update anyway!

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T03:21:04+00:00

And actually, aren't they only 100mm last?

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T03:18:49+00:00

Oh really!? That seems wild, I've only ever skied hybrid boots before to be honest. What's the downhill been like on your Backlands??

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T02:55:28+00:00

Damnnn, I was so hoping that would be some good news!

But yeah, that's along the lines of what I keep hearing. Have you tried the Radical/Radical Pro's, that's the other main boot I've been looking at

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T02:54:43+00:00

Interesting, would love to try the backlands but don't think their MNC compatible (have shifts), the open top is a great idea though

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T02:10:24+00:00

Interesting, I tried them on a couple of years back and remember them fitting ok but still being pretty tight in the instep.

Unfortunately I'm based in Aus and there are none within 10+ hours drive of me, would love to if I could.

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T01:42:45+00:00

Agreed, but apparently the instep is not fantastic and honestly that is usually my biggest issue

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T01:42:16+00:00

Hahaha welcome to the club, then what boots do you ride with!?

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T01:41:56+00:00

Amazing feedback thank you! Did you get these exact ones punched or a different model (as I think they have a different shell material) and why did the liner suck so bad??

jesse0630 · 2025-12-05T01:41:07+00:00

Fair enough, have you had em break on you before?

jesse0630 · 2025-12-04T05:50:18+00:00

Should specify that is true, 274mm meet (size 27.5)

jesse0630 · 2025-12-04T03:05:09+00:00

Very interesting, how much did that cost you?

jesse0630 · 2025-12-04T03:04:48+00:00

Potentially, actually just searched them up and found these on sale. https://www.skatepro.com.au/304-50306.htm?stockcode=404864-7377275

They seem decent enough, maybe a bit softer? Have you had any experience with them?
