I think the salomon x alp mtn are going to be popular for the quest 4d users who can't handle stiffer boots. They are still great on the flats but a significant improvement on sidehills.
Well, I pulled the trigger. I went with the Crispi Idahos. Hopefully they will be here by the end of the week! I can't wait to try them on. I'll let you all know what I think of them after I get em. Thanx again for all the input guys!
