If the idea of having a “boot quiver” doesn’t sound like fun to you, a hybrid touring boot may be the answer. With the Salomon Shift Alpha BOA 120 Alpine Touring Ski Boots on your feet, you can squeeze every last drop out of the resort before scampering up the mountain to draw some fresh lines of your own. These hybrid boots combine a lightweight build with the superb BOA Fit System and a revamped walk mode featuring Free Spine technology. This plastic bar links the cuff and lower shell, eliminating the break in energy transfer that occurs with many touring boots for improved control and power transfer on the descent. It’s enough to keep you stoked and from tram lap to skin track.
