Miles from any trailhead and making way through steep and deep snow is no time to worry about your backcountry ski boots. Will they keep my feet warm and dry, will they keep me and my heavy backpack from toppling over, will they drive my skis into a turn on the downhill? Will the boots even hold together without duct tape? Put on a pair of burly Fischer Transnordic 75 Waterproof ski boots, and then the only worry is if you brought enough hot chocolate.

• An outstanding heavy duty cross country ski boot for rugged conditions
• Size 41 and less has a women's fit, 42 and above a men's fit
• Thick leather upper is backed with a waterproof/breathable membrane
• 75mm (aka 3-pin) sole will work with heavy duty 3-pin or cable bindings
• Very tall uppers often will not need gaiters to keep snow out
• Light insulation adds warmth
