2021 Scarpa Maestrale XT Ski Boots

A bit stiffer and a bit higher performing than the Maestrale, the XT version bumps up the intensity a notch. The addition of Grilamid material to the cuff and the shell give it a ton of stiffness for its weight. This all adds up to a stout 130-flex rating which is ideal for both touring and all-mountain ripping. Whether you’re headed up or down the mountain, the Maestrale XT is the ideal tool for the job. With two upper cuff buckles, the XT has a bit more power and is able to tackle big mountain faces as well as tight tree lines and chutes. The lower buckle is a cable routed buckle that saves weight as well as increases the amount of adjustability in the lower shell. For touring and hiking, this comes in handy as you can leave it buckled in any tightness that you choose, giving you a bunch of room for adjustability. Thanks to a 56-degree range of motion, the Maestrale XT is a more than competent climber, making it easy and fun for you to get to the top of whatever mountain or line that you choose. The rockered sole is great for scrambling and skinning, and when it’s buckled into the binding for the descent, it feels just like a high-performance alpine boot. For skiers looking for the most versatile, highest performing alpine touring boot on the market, look no further than this modern twist on the classic.
