The Quest likes to ski the resort, boot-pack, and occasionally go on tours. Sound familiar? While it weighs about 30 percent less than your average alpine boot and has a walk mode, it’s no softie on the way down. “This is truly a go-anywhere boot for better skiers,” said one tester. Comes with a regular DIN鈥坰ole for resort bindings, but you can swap it out for a more touring-friendly one, too (sold separately, $50).
