Terrain Use: Carving, Backcountry, Groomers

Pros: Adjustability, Boot hold, Well known brand, Popular model

Other Thoughts: I have the 2006 LTD edition. (The funky suede ones that go with the LTD Sabbaths.) Despite looking pretty funky onscreen, they're pretty cool in person. For some reason I use this with my powder setup and always have, so it still looks pretty new. (All my powder is on trips, since Im on the east coast.) Oh yeah, and it performs pretty well. It's just a little bit better than the regular cartels. (It must be the suede.) ;-P

Terrain Use: Carving, Backcountry, Groomers

Other Thoughts: The lacing mechanism takes a while to get used to, but does permit you to really tweak where you want a closer fit, and where you want more breathing room. For the close fit, these are very comfortable boots.

Terrain Use: Carving, Groomers, All Mountain

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Traction, Good quality, Warm, Breathable, Waterproofing, Well known brand

Other Thoughts: I have the suede '06 LTD ones - first off, as with all of the burton boots I've tried, these are seriously comfortable. Secondly, although the suede looked pretty wacky on the screen, in person its a damn impressive design skippy. You have to see/ try out a pair - serious quality of materials, workmanship and style in this piece.
