Full-Tilt Ascendant vs Dalbello Lupo

Ascendants are literal bricks designed for kids who think full tilts are the only boot in the world.
Lupos are a real option, light, stiff, etc. get fitted for boots, don't buy boots because you think they're cool.
For 75% downhill performance lots of boots come to mind before those two. (Cochise, Lange xt, QST pro, basically anything with a walk mode...)

Bumping this cause I’ve got the same question? And the guy above is a dangus. I’ve been in both Dalbellos and full tilts, currently in Scarpa freedom rs’s which I’m not a fan of.
I’ve liked my dalbellos and full tilts, maybe the FT’s a little more.
I’m looking for a boot that can be my park/all mountain boot primarily, and be used for some touring. I’ll have a separate dedicated light touring boot as well for longer days.

So I can't say anything about the full tilts cuz I haven't used them.
The lupos on the other hand are great. I am a ski patrol and use them every day, on my days off I ski mostly all mountain and they hold up to anything. I would recommend them to anyone as they are the most comfortable ski boot I've ever had.
On a side note the cable for the middle buckle broke on one of them after like 20 days but they are the same as the full tilt cables.

Seriously you need to go to a bootfitter. They are 2 wildly different boots. The ascendant is like a 102mm wide shell and the Lupo i believe is much narrower. There are also many more options than these two boots for 50/50 resort/tour while still retaining performance. I went from Krypton Pro's to the Fischer Ranger Free 130 this season and have loved the boot. Has performed great on the resort and fit's my skinny ass legs way better than any boot i've had recently. I tried the Lange Freetour 140 LV and did not like the flex/feel. Seriously these 2 boots are not your only option. Go to a professional bootfitter.

This^ I was in full tilts and then I finally went to a bootfitter and got some Fischer ranger 120's, and having properly fitting boots is a game changer

Also, just because it says "130 flex" doesn't mean it is... I tried the Atomic Hawx XTD130 and it felt like I was skiing in a 90 flex boot. It's all personal preference, but trust me, you'll regret buying any boot cold off the web.

Consulted with a fitter who doesn’t sell boots (Intuition liners) and he put me in the lupo for instep height and heel hold. The ax 120 is wider than most dalbellos but I got it punched out and threw some wedges in to lock the heels in even more. First time I’ve ever felt both fully locked in and comfortable in a ski boot. It shreds.

Not that my experience is likely to help you other than go with the boot that your foot wants to be in.
