CASEY

Finally an AT boot that can, and will drive any ski out there. (I do not intend to make these boots drive World Cup-stiff race skis.) I've been on G-Rides and pocket Rockets for the past 3 years (G-Rides wouldn't drive a ski much stiffer than the P.R.) Demo'ed the adrenalins (O.K.) but waited for these this year. Glad I did. The boots are UBER-comfy, and they really are stiff enough to drive just about any ski you choose. (I have replaced the power strap with BOOSTERSTRAPS like the last three pais of alpine and AT boots I have owned. Go ahead and do yourself a favor and replace all your power straps with BOOSTERSTRAPS, trust me.) This is the only boot I ski any more. There is no need for Frankenstein-walking alpine boots any more. The only drawback is the price. I can justify this because they will be my ONLY boot for area skiing and the backcountry for like 4 years. It would be more difficult to drop all that $$ if I were using them only a few times a year. I live a few miles from the Aspen/Snowmass/Highlands/Buttermilk and ski quite a bit all season. 45+ days. I was in these boots from opening to closing day and my feet were never happier on the hill. Oh, the lace-up liners are awesome. Four different strangers asked me about my boots simply because I was cruzing through the parking lot with such ease (Cuff un-locked) I had to laugh, but hay, you can dance in these puppies at the bar.
