• Seth Morrison is sponsored by Full Tilt Boots these days, but there was a time way before Full Tilt Boots came around when Seth Morrison -- pro skier extraordinaire and ESPN Freeskiing contributor -- had to scavenge boots and parts of boots at ski swaps and yard sales and online forums because these boots he'd come to trust and love stopped being manufactured. This all makes Seth uniquely qualified to tackle the storied history of the ski boot with a cult following like none other -- first known as the Raichle Flexon -- from the late '70s to present day.
