What is the difference between snowboard and ski boots?
Snowboard boots typically function like stiff snowshoes because the snowboard bindings provide rigid support for turning. Ski boots on the other hand are much more rigid because the bindings only function to keep the boots attached to the skis. Ski boots themselves provide much of the rigid support that snowboard bindings offer.
