Atomic Hawx Prime 95 W Ski Boot - Women's
The Atomic Women's Hawx Prime 95 W Ski Boot rips groomers, shreds powder, and weaves through trees with a perfect fit and feather-light feel. It boasts a medium-stiff flex that's responsive for intermediate and recreational skiers, and a nice mid-volume last feels comfortable for most average-width feet to fill. Revolutionarily light technology keeps weight off the shell, using reinforcements only where needed—such as the Energy Backbone, which bolsters that boot-to-ski response every skier craves.
At the heart of this successful collection lies Atomic's Legendary Hawx Feel, which refers to the combination of fit and balance that makes these boots so worthy of praise. Memory Fit technology in the liner provides a comfortable out-of-box fit, which works in harmony with the anatomically-specific last, and its thermo-moldable for dialing in just the right shape. Meanwhile, the ramp angle, stance, and forward lean create a balance that encourages nothing but confidence on the mountain, helping you charge every run like a pro.
Nordica Promachine 115 Ski Boot - Women's
Built to give you the powerful performance of a race boot, but with all the elements of comfort that you require in an all-mountain charger, the Nordica Promachine 115 Ski Boot is ready to rip down the steepest chutes, weave through the tightest trees, and blast through powder-filled backside bowls. It backs this up with a stiff 115 flex and a slightly higher cuff that'll give expert lady shredders better support and leverage to drive their sticks, and a narrow 98 millimeter last for a snug fit that makes the boot feel secure and reactive.
The Promachine's shell features a rigid plastic spine that maintains the boot's stiffness and stability on the steeps, in the deep, and through less than optimal snow conditions, with a softer plastic at the instep for a better fit around the foot and easy entry and exit. On the bottom of the boot you'll find Michelin's Gripwalk soles, offering up a big serving of grip as you walk across slick parking lots. Inside the shell, the redesigned liner features a cork material that shapes to your foot over time, or can be thermo-molded for quick customization, enhancing the overall fit and feel of the boot, while Primaloft insulation keeps your foot warm and dry on the most frigid winter days.

The only better feeling than conquering a sweet ski line is doing it with feet that don't hurt. That's where the Nordica Women's GPX Pro 105 Ski Boot comes in. Crafted to not just secure your foot for a good ride, but to also provide ski-boot-quality-comfort and support, the GPX Pro 105 has a sturdy 105 flex and 98mm last, making it the dreamiest boot on the market.

K2 Minaret 100 Ski Boot - Women's
Switching between skis as conditions and objectives change is nice. Switching between boots isn't quite as great, especially when your feet have made a cozy little niche for themselves in your go-to boots. Luckily for your feet, K2 has built the Women's Minaret 100 Ski Boot to do it all, so you can wear the same pair of boots when you take your lightweight touring set up out to the backcountry, load up your mid-fats for a little all-mountain slaying.
Modeled after the K2 Pinnacle, the Minaret houses all of the same features, but sports a roomier 100mm last and medium flex for a more forgiving feel. It utilizes the same Synchro Interlock walk mode as the Pinnacle, which forgoes rivets in favor of an interlocking wedge and V-lock mechanism to lock the shell and cuff together once the boot is in ski mode, eliminating play. Adding to the overall stiffness of the boot is the Powerfuse Spyne, which extends from the cuff to the shell to deliver a more responsive and confidence-inspiring feel during the descent. The Minaret comes ready to step into just about any binding you might own with a DIN-compatible sole attached and tech fittings installed. K2 also offers a lugged Vibram sole (sold separately) if you're planning on spending a lot of time in the backountry.
