When skidding down couloirs, carving near vertical faces, and navigating dense tree lines, a communication delay to our skis could cost us, which is why we buckle into the Fischer Transalp Tour Boot for our backcountry missions. The carbon-infused cuff and shell deliver a very stiff flex for optimal responsiveness and stability, while the Double Lock ski/walk mode and Power Buckles ensure we stay locked in throughout our ride.
