BESPOKE BOOT

Whether pinballing through Alyeska’s notoriously bony Christmas Chute, or launching off Mount Hood’s summit into icy conditions, the Nordica Promachine 130 nailed the ideal mix of power and comfort. The heat-moldable 3-D cork liner has an adjustable tongue and laces for a bespoke fit, and the lightweight shell ensures edge-to-edge control when railing at high speeds. $849; nordica.com
