There's no reason to have a pair of boots for touring, a pair for resort riding, and a pair for side country bootpacks when we have the Salomon Shift Alpha Boa 120 Boot in our kit. The hybrid touring boot lets us go straight from a pre-dawn tour to lapping the resort to bootpacking across ridgelines to ski a monster line just outside the boundaries. The lightweight construction combines with the incredibly soft My CustomFit Freeride 4D Pro liner to keep us comfortable on steep climbs and blistering downhills, and the BOA(R) Fit System keeps our feet locked in place.
