I am torn between this boot, the hurricane pro, and atomic tracker 130s, I ski a relatively fat ski (DPS resort/pow ski >100 under foot) I ski 80% resort off piste and 20% AT with serious skinning and some climbing. I am 5'10" and 180 lbs. Any thoughts??

Hey Brian, I have not tried the Hurricane Pro, but I would warn you that these are not as stiff as they look. I have been skiing my Scarpa Spirit 4s full time, because they are so comfortable, but they are not quite stiff enough for big mountain skiing. I bought the Typhoons hoping they would be a bit more burly, but it turned out they actually had a softer flex than the Spirit 4, so I returned them. I'm planning to try the Hurricane Pro at some point, as it seems to have a higher cuff, and possibly stiffer flex.
