Product Info
Expert alpine women skiers transitioning to touring should take a hard look at the La Sportiva Sparkle Alpine Touring Ski Boots. Admirable lateral power transmission, an excellent touring mode, and extremely low weight for its class are more than just selling points for performance alpine touring, they're necessities. The La Sportiva Sparkle nails it in all these categories, and features a fairly relaxed fit in both the forefoot and instep, which should prove a boon to skiers with wider and higher volume feet.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
