We tested over 100 boot models in four categories at this year's boot test at Silver Mountain Resort, which adds up to over 1000 test forms where testers scored boots by five criteria: Anatomical Fit & Initial Feel, Dynamic Balance, Edge Power & Fore-Aft Support, Quickness Steering & Feel, and Convenience, Warmth & Features. Our large test team (over 40 of 'em) is comprised of a wide range of skiers, from ex-racers to backcountry purists, who come with an even broader spread of maturity levels and foot types.
