Summary
Get the Hawx Ultra XTD 130 BOA GW if you want a low'ish volume boot with high-end downhill ski performance and if you don't mind lugging weight around touring. This boot also rewards those who can work with a good boot-fitter as there are so many tuning and boot-fitting options.
MSRP will be $1,049 Cad. Sizes will be from 24.5 to 30.5. If you have a smaller foot then the only available option are the Hawx Ultra XTD 115 W which goes down to 22.5 in size but is priced a tad more affordably at a MSRP of CAD $849.
The Atomic Backland XTD 120 is a new touring boot for the 2023 - 24 season. It's intended to be a 1400g boot that tours extremely well and has reasonably good ski performance but misses the mark in a few ways. More in the review.
