Today, we are asking 3 big questions: (1) Why is it, in the world of ski boots, that it’s typically the very stiffest ski boots that have all the best features and get the best liners and all the bells and whistles? (2) What are ski boot manufacturers doing about the fact that at almost every ski area in the world, some of the absolute best skiers on the mountain also have the least amount of money in their bank accounts, and probably can’t afford a $1000 ski boot? And (3) did K2 just create the first ski boot that was truly designed for women, from the ground up?
To address these questions – and also offer some other very hot takes – I am talking with Tom Pietrowski, the global product line manager for K2 ski boots.
