With the beef required of the heaviest backcountry hitters, the walk mode and tech fittings of the Lupo series, and a mean grey countenance to boot, the Dalbello Chakra AX T.I. Ski Boots are the obvious choice for charger women who don't hesitate to switch between the resort and the backcountry, and picks and chooses depending on conditions and whim. A comfy 100mm last gives feet that can't quite squeeze into the 98mm Chakra last a little breathing room, and GripWalk soles give you the freedom to choose bomber alpine bindings AND remain surefooted on those steep hikes.
