There are a number of advantages to buying your first ski setup instead of renting, and boots head the list. Skip the grossness of starting your day in wet boots that someone else was wearing just a few hours ago, and go directly to the Atomic Hawx Magna 80 Ski Boots. Built with a wider than average last for wider and higher volume feet, the Hawx Magna Series offers skiers with wider feet the precision and progressive flex of an advanced two piece, 4 buckle design, but in a softer flex that won't get in the way as you go through the learning process.
