I got a couple for ya.

Boa tightened boots suck. Like they are good if you're not strong enough to tie your own boots, great for people just getting into the sport. But they just don't stay tight through the day. I also don't think they last if you put more than 25 days in a season.

Ice coast wisdom: Ski it till it's good. Don't let conditions get in the way of having fun on the mountain.

Boa, haha :) My take on them is just get a pair of rather stiff boots (I ride Insanos) and you will be fine; I rather need to loosen them a bit when my feet get cold. Stll not fully over the fear though of them breaking in the backcountry, but so far they kept up (and with some spare laces in the backpack for peace of mind)

Interesting. Largely by accident I landed on some very stiff 32 boots, dual zone boa, like the insanos, just before I got into touring. They have served me very well. I guess I would use a ski strap around my boot if the boa failed.

Finding full zip pants that fit over snowboard boots was a problem I only recently solved.
