Sorry, off topic, but I hope some video will be posted from the trip...

I bought a Zipfit liner two years ago and I abandoned efforts to make it work. Maybe I am not a great candidate for a high performance liner , that being I don't want to have to heat the shell to get my foot and liner into the boot. Can the Pro Tongue remain in the shell like a stock liner?
Also do you size the Pro Tongue at the same size as the stock liner? My boot is a 115 Head Raptor RS . Pretty tight shell fit maybe I can get a pencil or so behind my heel when I shell fit. My current fit after two seasons , maybe 50 days so far is still good actually. I got a bad habit of not leaving well enough alone , and my previous Zipfit experience makes me a bit apprehensive .

Every good skier in the group (which includes Max 501 and Helluvaskier) is lusting after my pro tongues. One in our group bought the last one that the shop had in stock. Two more were ordered for overnight delivery on Monday.

I am not challenging anything that has been shared with us regarding how great these liners are, but inherent to boot fitting at least for me few things are seamless as much as I want them to be.
Thanks

One thing I've noticed in comparison to a stock liner is that you need to be very precise with boot buckling. It's very easy to get too tight with just one extra twist of the cam - I'm guessing this is due to the stiffness. I've found starting with them on the loose side for a warm up run helps them settle in to the shell, and I can then tighten them down a little more where needed and I'm good for the day.
