wow! sparkly new forums ...

I have a question - I just picked up a pair of Technine Marc Frank Montoya bindings for pretty cheap (I love end of season sales). However, I have no boots to wear with them. (I've been sticking with step-ins, but I think it would be fun to ride both step-ins and straps, especially since I teach a lot of beginners, and will be better able to answer gear questions, etc etc). Anyway, I have no regular boots. I know I'm supposed to get the boots first, but this was the last pair of bindings, and I couldn't pass them up.

I need some advice, info, commentary, suggestions on any of the women's boots out there. I primarily freeride (steeps, trees, backcountry) with a limited amount of park and pipe, so some stiffer boots would be better. I've been using BOA boots (vans) recently, and I love them. But I'm open to other brands as well (K2, DC, Northwave??). They don't have to be top of the line - just solid.

Thanks!
