Skier's Choice Draft Picks
Howie “Hollywood” Henderson
Round 5 – Boot Selection, AT/Sidecountry/Telemark, Pick 6
When uphill performance becomes as important as all-day ripping, the Hell&Back Pro from Nordica’s new Sidecountry line shines. Maximum heel retention, rubber insole, full shock eraser, quick release hike/ski mode, and slightly softer flex combine to make these things sweet for everything. The biggest difference is the shell. Instead of a traditional overlap, the shell places more emphasis on lateral stiffness rather than fore and aft. Nordica’s new flex rating for this boot, 14. Think of it as a 130 flex that’s easier to get in and out of. Wider and innovative ski designs are no longer based on race technology, and neither should your boots.Other Draft Picks By Howie “Hollywood” Henderson
