This is my first foray into AT boots, and thus far I am quite pleased with the Denali TT. Not as stiff as an alpine boot, but not expected to be either given the dual purpose the boot is designed for. Tons lighter and easier on/off than traditional alpine boot. Have not toured in the boot yet so cannot report on the up, but on the down the boot has no problem driving the mid-fat ski I am on mounted with Fritschi freerides.

As a full time pro patroller, I needed a boot I could wear for 9+ hours, but I didn't want to give up alpine boot performance. This is the best of both worlds. Scarpa hit a home run with this one.

This is the first AT boot I’ve ever bought (last year’s model). Was worried I wouldn’t have enough support. They were definitely stiff enough. And really lightweight. I’m a female, but bought the Men’s size 7 (I’m a Women’s size 10).

Awesome boot! It fit perfectly and it is true that you need one size less than normal [as Scarpa uses UK sizing]. One feature that is pretty cool is that it has a rubber sole, so no more ass falling due to plastic on ice.

I use these boots for about 70% resort and 30% BC and they are perfect. Not much of a difference from a reg. alpine boot except the rocker sole which means that you can not use these boots w/ regular bindings. I ski the denali's very hard and they are working great!

This boot is the best ski boot I have ever owned period.

Beats out all tele, and alpine boots I have owned in the past.

These boots are pretty comfy on the uphill (though probably a little stiffer than a light touring setup) and can be cranked down pretty stiff (almost as stiff as Tecnica Explosion 8s, my other boots) for the downhill. The liners conform to your feet better than you might expect. The only problem I've had is the walk/flex dial on the back has a propensity to come loose as well as interfere a bit with crampons. No biggie.
