Raichle 324 boots, with the stiffer 'race kit' heels because I think the softer stock heels were the reason my bindings released a few times last year. I ride with the front lean adjuster in position 4, the back in 3 for performance, 4 for more relaxed riding or steeper slopes (it's less tiring to stand up straighter).
Backup board: CustomCraft 170cm, 10m sidecut, 23cm waist, twin-tip shape, Catek bindings at 45/40 degrees. This was my main board when I bought it, but now I have a new favorite:
Main board: Coiler 174cm, 13m sidecut, 21cm waist, directional shape (5cm nose, 3cm tail), Bomber TD bindings at 55/50 degrees. I use a 3 degree bomber disc up front, 6 degrees in the rear (the Cateks on the other board are set up similarly).
I am of the "one board for everything" school of thought. The CustomCraft is easier in the halfpipe, but I am hoping that the Coiler will become my preferred halfpipe board with a little more practice. The narrower waist might be inherently inferior for that, though. Only time will tell.
I have been in soft boots only once in the last 6 years or so, and they only reminded me of why I switched to hard boots.

I prefer the more forward-facing posture, and even in powder, I like to feel "as one" with the board... hard boots give me that feeling in a way that soft boots never have.
