We talk with Sean Van Horn about two of La Sportiva’s new ski boots: the lightweight Skorpius CR II, and the freeride-touring Vanguard. We cover all the interesting design elements that La Sportiva packed into each boot; where each boot slots into the wide-ranging “alpine touring” category; and how touring gear has evolved to reflect shifting consumer trends.

It would be useful to hear about updates on the Skorpius. Changes in fit? Is it the flex the same? Why did the switch to BOA when people seemed to like the forefoot buckle?
