Dalbello Lupo AX 100 W

Hybrid gear's the thing these days — one setup you can rock inbounds and out without feeling "undergunned" in either universe. You'll have a hard time doing better for a boot choice than the Dalbello Lupo AX 100 W Alpine Touring Ski Boots. Stiff enough to rip the downhill but not overbearing for technical descents or skinning, and with a removeable tongue option for those long slogs over undulating terrain, the Lupo AX has a generous 100mm fit for most average to slightly wider feet, and the soul of a backcountry adventurer.
