I'm guessing that basketball shoes are extremely weight sensitive whereas snow board boots are not. Anything that adds weight to an athletic shoe better be adding a bigger advantage than self tying.

You could be right, although the Boa mechanism is really very small. The laces are metal (I think) but much thinner.
