Nordica Hell&Back Hike Exp Ski Boots 2012: Nordica’s completely new sidecountry boots, Hell & Back, are built for downhill performance first but provide features that allow skiers the ability to pursue new adventures into the ever expanding resort sidecountry. The sidecountry movement is the natural evolution of all-mountain skiing, and the Nordica Hell&Back Hike Exp Ski Boots are at the forefront with a progressive forward flex with a 45 degree closure system for maximum heel retention, new Full Shock Eraser dampening, and a quick release for transitioning into hike mode. Nordica’s new Hell&Back sidecountry boots provide skiers the uphill features they aspire to use without sacrifice to the downhill performance they need.
