The Full Tilt Men's Ascendant Touring Ski Boot might feel light on the uphill, but it's surprisingly aggressive for the downhill. With the removable tongue, this boot boasts a 120 flex—Full Tilt's stiffest—for an aggressive, freeride feel on the downhill. The removable tongue also gives this boot a massive range of motion in walk mode, and it completes the boot's three-piece construction. Three-piece construction amplifies the boot's progressive forward flex for a smoother power transmission, a dynamic rebound, and more excellent shock absorption than ski boots with the standard two-piece construction.

Full Tilt made this boot extremely comfortable for long days in the backcountry. It has a wide 102mm last that leaves plenty of room for your toes to play, or for extra layers on a frigid day. Its Full Tilt Pro liner uses a unique drawstring and J-Bars around the ankles for a locked in fit, and there's a removable pad in the back that increases the boot's forward lean for a more aggressive performance. Underfoot, the Ascendant features a shock absorbing boot board and Michelin rubber with sharp lugs that ensure traction on rocks and ice.
