These are great

Ranked #71 - Telemark Ski Boots

Broke these in at A Basin this weekend, then skied up Quandary Peak (14,265') the next day. The BOA lace system is very nice, allows you to get a comfortable but tight fit. I felt like I was in total control of my skis, could easily drive them wherever I wanted to. I was skiing some T3s before and I find these immeasurably superior. They are quite warm (camped at 10,900' in the cold), I wore the boot liners in my (summer) sleeping bag and was comfortable all night. Good to hike in/walk in, boot packing was no problem, even a little downclimbing on the east wall at A Basin was no problemo. Walk-mode makes a noticeable difference, although of course I forgot to engage ski mode and skied some hairy stuff in walk mode just fine. Went through some highly variable conditions on the 14er and felt right at home. The cuff is perhaps a little low, and you'll want either longer pants or maybe gaiters if you're in truly deep powder. BUT... I have never skied a more comfortable boot. Sizing is true to what you'd expect. Also, I did not mold the liners - just skied them right out of the box. Super comfy. Get em!
