Yeah a little embarrassing to be able to rip around on nearly anything, but get to the powder and I'm using my poles like outriggers to maintain my stance.
Slight rocker tele ski hmmmm Anti Piste...KaChing-KaChing again!
I did ski a buddies Hell bents on Tele. Scariest thing I've ever done on skis and I was in awesome boot deep blower pow. There is no back end of that ski so you have to be perfectly centered at all times. Thought I was going to die flying out of control through the trees.

I'm not calling you out Kneel, but I am surprised that the Seeker is as stiff as the T-1. It's three down the list from the stiffest boot BD makes. I'll need to try those on to see the differences, before I can really cast judgment.
It's OK, I went to ron j's school of weasel language and VCR repair.
Exhibit A:
"My impression was that the Seeker is just as, or more stiff than my 3 buckle black/gray T1's."
Counselor, please note that the statement is true fact because it only expresses my "impression" not any scientifically debateable reality.
Furthermore, the comparison is of my three buckle, second hand, "worn in" (I sold 'em to Cass, so I don't want to describe them as "worn out") T1's.
As far as them being 3 down on BD's hierarchy of burliness;
Remember:
-the Seeker has the same bellows stiffness rating from BD as the Push
-Scarpa's slogan: "No place too far"
-BD's slogan: "It's all about the down"
Tips diving with modern tele gear? ???
I'm anxious to see if the Customs can submerge 151mm's

Am I off my rocker?
Yes, you walk uphill for an hour for all of 45 seconds of skiing don't you?
The defense rests, Your Honor.

What can I say? Not quite the superhuman that you thought I was huh?
I guess Michael Jordan and I share the same weakness ...OLD AGE.

About the Customs and the 151's...
...it's a bit like trying to use a 4x4 post to submerge Rosie O'Donnell in tub of whip cream.
