Q: Snowboard boots: Men, women, children—what are the differences?

You don't choose the same snowboard boots depending on whether you are a man, a woman, or a child. Each body type has its own specific characteristics. Here's what changes: For women : narrower boots with better heel support and often a more flexible flex for greater comfort and maneuverability. For children : lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-put-on models. Some junior boots even have an adjustment system to accommodate growth. For men : wider boots with a wider range of flex to suit all riding styles. The right approach? Don't choose a men's or women's pair "by default," but rather based on your body type and how they feel. No matter what the label says, it's the fit that counts.

Well done to our 4 teams taking part in the 28th Pierra Menta. They valiantly defended the Alsatian colours on the slopes of the Beaufort.
All the teams reached the finish of the world's most prestigious ski-mountaineering race. A big thank you to Bruno, our rando and trail specialist, who gave them technical and moral support over the 4 days of the race.
This was the 20th year that teams have worn our colours on the Pierra Menta.
