Have you tried something like this?



Unfortunately I am UK based right now and had only one opportunity to test it on snow in the Alps, mid-March, only on piste, because of disastrous snow conditions*
Well, for piste they make HUUUUUGE difference in my opinion. Like in way way better control.
Rode several days like that, then removed the additional straps for a while and felt like in cheap old-school soft boot step-ins
The straps are from Drake DTM are wide and work pretty well.

*It's funny to ride Never Summer Summit Split only on pistes, but actually I learned a thing or two about control this way. And the wider nose/thinner tail is a recipe for some spectacular high speed falls

a ski strap through the upper slots in the highback and around the ankle cuff of your boot accomplishes the same thing for far less weight, typically referred to as a booster strap. cheers

I've thought about doing the same thing with my orange rubber ski straps since I'm already carrying a pair of them anyways. I think I'd only do it for long traverses and take them off for riding.

happened just before all the cool kids cut their highbacks down

If you don't already have some ski straps to use check out the Spark R&D Strappy Strap - silly name, useful product.
