Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

This is really interesting... inside the industry kinda stuff.
Looking at specs for race touring boots, I noticed the shells seem to come much shorter than equivalent size freeride boots.
A ‘race touring boot’ won’t have heel and toe lugs to fit in a frame binding, so that is the main reason why the BSL is shorter. Liners are typically thinner as well, so that accounts for a further reduction in BSL.
