Remember if you think you deserve boots more than Chip Clouse (winner above), then show us why and submit your own entry at Teton Gravity.
One of the more nebulous awards of the series, Crew Of The Year, goes to, well, the most dominant crew in skiing this year of course. And the winner is...
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.
