Scarpa's Maestrale XT Ski Boot is our maestro for conducting rhythmic wiggles across the backcountry. It's the best baton for master conductors creating art down snowy summits. We love its smooth, progressive 130+ flex that offers the performance needed for aggressive descents, and a carbon-infused construction keeps the boot's weight low for comfy ascents.

A roomy 101mm last and thermo-moldable liner further enhances uphill comfort, and the walk mode maintains an excellent range of motion. Underfoot, Vibram's rubber sole mixes with Scarpa's TOP85 compound for greater durability that doesn't inhibit overall traction. This is the boot to conquer icy, rocky summits as well as float deep powder somewhere in the trees.
