Does any company make light weight downhill ski boots (desirable weight is under 2 lb each boot)?

The most advanced skiers now are looking for the lightest weight downhill ski boots. The lighter is better. Please send me a reference.

I use ski boots for snowmobiling. It provides more support. The ones i have cost $120 and they are called Impulse snow boots. I believe they are a pound or just a little over (i was amazed when i first bought them about how light they are)! I love them to death because in negative degree weather in the mountains, they keep my feet warm, and they DO NOT leak! I was so sick of boots eventually leaking because of being in snow, but these dont. Here is the site: http://www.redtail-intl.com/Striker/Impu...
Reply:Under 2 lbs? I'm not aware of anything that light, but there might be some very advanced racing boots that light - they'd have to be made out of some pretty advanced material, though. I guess I'd search for "ultra light-weight ski boots".





You want strength in your ski boots, as well as light weight, so it'd have to be a composite metal or pretty advanced plastic.





Even the super lights seem to clock in at 5 to 7 or 8 pounds.
Reply:You should look into Alpine Touring boots.





Garmont makes a line of high end touring boots that are extremely light with negligible performance difference from traditional Alpine boots. Check out the Garmont Endorphin or the Garmont Adrenaline.
Reply:Not that I'm aware of. Usually ski boots weigh 4+ lbs, depending on the brand and model. I use Technica boots and I just love them, though they are definitely heavier than what you're wanting. I hear the new model of Lange are pretty good (they're that baby blue color, really cute). Good luck finding your boot.
Reply:Why do you want them lighter? The only time boots should leave the snow is; chair lift or park/hucking.
Reply:Check out a small company called Full Tilt. new to the ski market they are owned by K2 skis. right now the lightest ski boot on the market. Not sure if they are under 2lbs but damb light.
Reply:Once upon a time Scott made the lightest boots ever until production was discontinued around 1980.





I picked up some Salomon 1080 Foils to knock around with on free ski days. I am not sure how you can get much lighter and more comfortable than those. I think comfort is far more noticeable than weight of a boot. Either I have happy, warm feet or I don't.

1.) Not give very good feedback. One important thing is to know how your skis are doing and lots of that information is transmitted to you via your boots.





and 2.) Possibly be too soft, which would mean there was a greater amount of time between when you initiated your turn and when your edge grabs the snow. If you can't see what I'm saying, loosen your boots more than usual one day, then tighten them up a bit ore than usual and see how different they are. You will also feel a little less stable with looser, softer boots.





Under 2lbs is really pretty crazy for a ski boot. I don't think we'll see a boot under 2lbs for a long time to come
Reply:holy shi* under 2 pounts man those would be NICE for hiking the bc. but i dont know if they'd be worth it. I dont know if i'd risk it......they probably wont give you the control/stability you need....and even if you do find some that would work at that low of a weight they're gonna be EXPENSIVE.
