Our top-of-the-line women's freeheel boot, the Stiletto craves big skis and fluid lines-be it waist-deep pow in the British Columbia backcountry or off-piste action at La Grave.

Nepal's mystical Mount Manaslu calls to mind the snow drifts and very difficult conditions that have allowed only a very few men to scale the summit and ski back down again. The Manaslu ski, with its revolutionary ski geometry, 23-cm long shovel, and tight dual-radius cut (35/21 cm), is ideal for high-altitude ski descents with highly varied snow conditions. Its light-weight wood-core construction and the use of high-performance laminates create an ideal balance between weight, performance and flexibility - all with a 95-mm wide ski-base under the binding.

This new, revolutionary, ski boot offers optimal downhill performance as well as maximum freedom of movement when ascending, while the combination of boot and liner means first-class comfort. The material mix of Pebax on the cuff/shell/tongue, carbon on the Powerstringer, and magnesium on the buckles. Together explain why this boot is so versatile and why the Zzero's are currently the lightest 4-buckle boots on the market.

The Factor is built for the hardest of hard chargers, who run it wide open on blower pow, send 30-footers to hardpack and pull 60 mph straight lines-skiers with tight pants or skinny skis need not apply. The stiffest freeride boot in the BD line, the Factor, with its Flex-130 rated Triax-Pro Frame constructed with 100% Pebax, is the ultimate combination of backcountry and alpine boots. You want a custom fit? You'll get it thanks to the Factor's thermoformable high-performance foot bed and Power Fit Liner. The Factor comes equipped with ISO Alpine DIN blocks and is compatible with
BD AT blocks WITH TECH INSERTS (sold separately), which are quickly and easily changed out with our unique sliding, four-screw attachment.
