We like how the Dalbello Krypton AX TI Ski Boot combines our long-time favorite Krypton chassis with a reliable walk-mode and lightweight materials to help us take our bag of tricks to the backcountry. The 33 of cuff motion controlled by a burly walk-mode lever helps us get to the top of dreamy lines. On the way down, the stiff flex and relatively narrow last lock our feet in place for confident skiing.
