I'm a snowboarder and thought I'd get myself a ski kit to try it out and just doesn't appeal to me like I thought it would, so gonna stick to snowboarding. I got a (barely) once used pair of 2016 Line Tigersnakes (twin tip park ski) in 171 mounted -30 from center (as per manufacturer...

I don't mean to be a contrarian, but I have done extensive homework with my snowboard boot fitment and I haven't had any issues with my feet in that school. Granted, I haven't spent as much time in ski boots but I know there aren't any underlying issues with my feet. It's just a matter of...

The Descendants felt awful. Very hard pressure point right under the ball of my foot and yeah they had way too many extra parts most boots don't. Seemed like breakage waiting to happen. Hence my going with the Nordica cruises. They feel like a dream and have a traditional build so... Figured for...

Did some boot shopping today and my God FT boots are the most uncomfortable sumbitches I've ever seen. Wound up going with some Nordica Cruise 80s in a 27.0. They feel like a dream (better than a lot of snowboard boots even) and I figure the mid flex will suit me as the mixed park rat/carver...

Yeah, that's about what I figured. I used to be a snowboard boot fitter in a shop so I'm pretty familiar with all of that. I don't always rely on shops either because I've gone to a few just to kinda test their knowledge and I'd say it's a good 50/50 whether they know what they're talking about...

Yeah seen them. They seem nice. Pretty expensive though. Maybe once I get better at skiing. For now, I was looking at Full Tilt descendants because from what I hear they're quite comfortable as ski boots go, but alas gotta find a store that actually carries FTs. Sent from my SM-G935T using...

So, I've snowboarded for a little over half my life (now 32) and I have skied a couple times when I was younger and still trying to decide which one I wanted to do. This year, something in me is making me want to try again only this time actually stick with it. I have no intention of quitting...
