 Oh, boot expert..
...I'm a ski boarder (Head Shape 94 cm skis) and I bought a pair of Salomon breeze boots (I'm a lady, after all) from a local sports store after I ordered my skis online (it's hard to find ski boards in a ski shop).
With a season pass from Wachusett, I've been well over ten times and my boots work fairly well. When it's really icy and hard (luckily not much this year), I get screaming fatigue on either side of my knees because I'm riding my edges on my wider skis that I don't get when conditions are nice (ie: more powder/granular powder). The rest of the time I'm trying not to lean forward too much (the ski boots seem to make me lean forward more than I need). Since my skis have standard ski bindings, I'm considering the purchase of a nice pair of boots that will continue to work well. Can you suggest a model or line that don't have as much of that forward angle to them? Also, they set up my boots with the upper two hinges all the way out because my calves are big (they said that's not uncommon) if that affects your recommendation any.
I don't mind going to a shop to get good boots now that I know what I'm doing (and how much I love it), but it would be nice if someone who knew could point me toward some models I can look up before I go in there blind.
Thanks! |
