Scarpa puts the Alien RS right in the crosshairs of what is likely the most exciting AT ski boot sub-category. More and more people are employing super-light backcountry ski gear. With boots, that once meant accepting compromised durability, warmth, and protection to use rando race footwear. Scarpa keeps as much of its race pedigree in the Alien RS as seems possible while adding in enough protection and durability to make this more of an “everyday” sort of product. The gaitered lower, full rubber sole, and tuned walk/ski mode performance put it in a class of its own for the high-speed tourer and ski mountaineer. For this, the Alien RS earns our Top Pick award for light and fast human-powered skiing.
