Hi, really glad to meet a fellow fireman, I am volunteer down in southern NH. Love your city am there alot, actually my favorite. Anyway, am breaking into skiing agian after 25 years, and have like no budget for it. Have come across some salomon superforce 9 ski boots that are brand new and was wondering if this boot is even worth looking at? Cannot find any information on it being its age and all I guess. Is this boot worth skiing on for a year until I can afford new ones? Thanks for the time, sorry about length of post.
