Transfer. But it sucks for EVERYTHING else. It's mad soft. Get the pro model if you ski anything less than 99% park.

i heard its the exact same boot as the raichle flexon (same boot seth morrison uses) so it can't be that bad for all-mountain.

It's not. It's manufactured by Dalbello, and it's the same as their 'transfer' skiboard boot. It's soft as hell, and that will rule for park and suck for everything else.

Then apparently our Dalbello rep is full of shit, because he's said about 5 times that they produce the boot.

Line commandeers the Raichle Freezone-and rechristens it as the Transfer-for use as its own slopestyle boot offering. The shell-tongue design, with its supple forward flex, is perfect for landing big airs without excessive shin-bang. Rachet buckles and a walk mode make it comfortable for extensive hanging out in the terrain park. -J.C.

Now, what someone might wanna find out is whether or not Dalbello is owned by Kneissl(who now owns Raichle, btw.) And there's always the possibility that skinet.com, and by extension AOL/Time Warner, is wrong...Or the rep is wrong...
And I've heard(though never skied it..) that the Line boot is WAY too soft for anything but park riding. It's worth noting that it was their skiboard boot back in the day, and the only thing they changed was the removable sole lugs to be alpine ski binding compatible.

Well, I'll ask him about the ownership thing... if he's wrong on this, the shit will not stop flowing, ever.
