With the expanding interest of backcountry skiing it's no surprise that each season more and more companies are entering the fray when it comes to gear that is intended to get you out past the ski area boundaries and into the goods. Atomic is one such company and has introduced a number of products this season which focus on getting more people into the backcountry. The trend with the Tracker series of boots (Available in a 110, 120 and 130 flex rating) is to provide adequate touring features while not losing downhill performance.

I had the opportunity to try the Atomic Tracker in a 110 flex and it tries to achieve this by giving you a mild weight savings from a standard alpine boot, good grip from the Sky Walk out sole and a bit of extra range in the walk mode. I think the strengths of this boot over its direct competition is the very distinct fit and the excellent lockout for down hill skiing.
