Rewriting the Rules of Ski Boots? K2 Ski Boots’ Tom Pietrowski

(1) Why is it that typically, only the stiffest ski boots have all the best features and get the best liners and all the bells and whistles? (2) What are boot manufacturers doing about the fact that many of the best skiers on the mountain also have the least amount of money in their bank accounts? And (3) did K2 just create the first ski boot that was truly designed for women, from the ground up? To address these questions, we’re talking with Tom Pietrowski, the global product line manager for K2 ski boots. Note: We Want to Hear From You! We’d love for you to share with us the questions, topics, or stories you’d like us to cover on GEAR:30. You can email those to us here.
