Tele skiers always win, because when you're lunging like an '80s aerobics instructor with every turn, six inches of powder turns into full-on overhead face shots. Not only do knee-droppers get white-roomed more often, but they get to wear the Scott Voodoo 75mm Men's Telemark Boot while getting said face shots; victory's sweet, ain't it?

With a burly mountain-man flex of 130, overlapping PowerWrap construction, and a big ol' power strap just for chuckles, you can ski the Voodoo as hard as you want without powering through the front and ending up forehead-down on the snow. It has an adjustable spoiler to help you customize the 13-degree lean angle, and an asymmetrical bellows design for the proper flex. Scott also used four separate injections to create the lower shell, making a boot that's laterally stiff so you can power through turns without tipping over or twisting over your ski.

Although it's designed for hard-chargers, the Voodoo goes up almost as fast as it goes down, with a ski/walk switch that provides 46-degrees of cuff rotation, and a heat-moldable PWR Tour liner than hugs your foot whether you're on the way up or down. Throw in some micro-adjustable buckles that won't re-latch themselves after you've unbuckled, saving you the humiliation of tearing up while you're trying to yank a buckled boot off your foot.
