when you are buying a boot do not let anyone tell you what fits or steer you towards a certain boot. It is a business and they want to sell what they make the most money on. When you are strapped in a boot make sure your heel does not move AT ALL. If your heel is tight it allows you to get good lean over your ski which means good turns(just as Greg said above). Also do not get a boot that is too stiff. If you get a high flex rated boot your gonna need to ski the piss out of them to get results. A softer boot will flex easier and will allow you turn better as an upper intermediate skier. I ski pretty hard and i have technica vento 10's. I would not recommend this boot for someone that does not like ski hard all the time. I do love my boot and if you ski hard and fast go for it.
Interesting, I also have the Vento 10s. I ski hard occasionally, but they serve me just fine when I'm cruisin' with the kiddo. they were the only ones that had a toe-box that felt good.
