goldenchild Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 So I need new downhill boots when I need a break from the backcountry and would like to rip it up in Whistler. In the backcountry I used the dynafit binding system. Not to sound arrogant, I consider myself an aggressive skier and always looking for the steep stuff. Can you guys recommend a good stiff boot that would work both in the downhill and in the backcountry that would fit the dynafit bindings? Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone here if possible TIA Quote

Luckily for you, you really only have two choices: The Garmont MegaRides The Scarpa Matrixes I have the MegaRides. I like them. I generally only use them in the BC, for the resorts I use a pair of Adrenalins. Dynafit will be coming out w/ a 4 buckle Dynafit compatible boot next year, though Lief, the owner of the 5th Season in Shasta skied them and was under-impressed stating they skied poor and didn't yield any more performance then the 3 buckle Aero. Everyone has a different idea of what aggressive skiing is, in my mind if you're really pushing it at the resorts (which I don’t do) you'll probably want an Adrenalin, or whatever Scarpa’s new interchangeable boot is, or an Alpine boot.
