For one boot that can handle a 100-day season, we look to the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA GW AT Boot. The Prolite construction keeps the weight down, while the walk mode's 54-degrees of motion and Frictionless Pivot, as well as the liner's Achilles Flex Zone, increase efficiency on the climb as we search for fresh lines. When there's no fresh powder on the mountain, this boot's GripWalk sole, reinforced spine, and medium-stiff flex transition seamlessly to the resort for carving groomers.
