Ski Boots (new 2 piece model)

Mary wanted to skiing for a 1/2 day so we went up to Wachusett. Weather was great and snow was good. We stayed on the greens all as she is still a begineer.

After 4 or 5 runs we went inside for some hot chocolate. Checking the time we figured we had time for a few more runs before heading home. As we were heading for the door, (I was infront) Mary says "my boot broke". Turning around I was expecting to see a popped buckle. What I saw was the front of her boot in her hand.

Strangest thing I ever saw. Anyone else ever see a boot fail like this ? I'm just glad it broke when it did. If that had happened while she was skiing, she probably would have been hurt. The boots seemed fine when I buckled them for her.
