I got a couple for ya.

Boa tightened boots suck. Like they are good if you're not strong enough to tie your own boots, great for people just getting into the sport. But they just don't stay tight through the day. I also don't think they last if you put more than 25 days in a season.

Ice coast wisdom: Ski it till it's good. Don't let conditions get in the way of having fun on the mountain.

I've got a pair ride fuse for the front country and k2 aspect for the back country. They both use boa for tightening the liner, which I don't hate. Can the insano take crampons? I'm not a huge fan of the aspect

I never went anywhere where I would have needed some, so i can't really tell but reading in some other threads it should not be problematic to put them on snowboard boots as well.

The aspects have a little nub at the back for them to lever over. I looked them up, it doesn't look like they have that.

Wow I had no idea any snowboard boots were designed for crampons. I have some universal Camp crampons that work for my 32 boots.

I need this kind of I ever have to climb or down climb a slide. Some boots have a little knuckle on the back for them. Feeling like I should have gotten ice climbing ones now though.

Yeah I have these. Maybe not the best tool but fine for the rare cases I want them.
