What boots do you park skiers use? Thanks
Lange podium shoes or Line's soft boots
Definitely not North Face slippers though

When I worked on park crew seemed like everyone was all over the place, which I think speaks more to people going after what was comfortable for their foot. I have been using Dalbello Lupos, one guy used K2 Mindbener 130s, Another used a model of HEAD boots I had never seen. Its been said a thousand times but its worth repeating, if you are going to spend money for ski gear, spend it on a nice pair of boots. Go get fitted at your local ski shop and try on 5-7 pairs of different brands. You won't regret it.
Go get a race boot and u can rly rip some spins
make sure to buy boots 2 sizes to big so your tosies don't get cold
Clennon I kinda respect ur desire to become a stereotype “newschooler” based on your threads

Fastest color for sure
I like my Lange LX100s. But every foot is different, so try them all on when you sit down to purchase. Dont buy online either. You need them to fit tight like a firm handshake, but not constrictive and painful in anyway.
You're getting thumbed down because someone asks this question every 10 minutes on here (i was guilty of this once too!) So Feel free to DM me, I'm a bootfitter and would be happy to answer any of your questions
Dalbello cabrio series is better than full tilt now imo.
Same fit but better quality plastic, construction, and flex. ALL 3 of my previous full tilts had different canting angles, so one of my legs was always bowed out because the manufacturing tolerances are shit.

NS hates this take but... Dabello or Full Tilt, I feel like just all three piece boots kinda suck compared to overlap boots

I very much agree. I could go on for days about why I like the 4 buckle better but tbh I think the placebo can be just as big if a factor when it comes to park skiing. The sport is such a mental game that just thinking you have nice boots will make you ski better because you are more confident
You’re probably not at the skill level to tell a difference. In your case as long as it’s comfortable that’s all that really matters.
but for high performers and certain skier types (freestyle/mogul) there is a benefit to 3 piece design, assuming they fit of course

@onenerdykid share your wise words about this.

Some 2-piece boots flex more than 3-piece boots, some 3-piece boots flex more than 2-piece boots. I don't think I've ever seen definitive proof that one boot is better for moguls than the other (sponsored athletes using them in certain events isn't what I would call definitive).
When the boot's flex matches/is a reflection of the forces you put into it, you will have a boot that performs well for whatever skiing you're doing.
I’ll trust the opinion of Olympic and X games athletes over a random teenager on Newschoolers, but thanks for the insight.

Sugma cock and balls I guarantee I rip harder than you in all aspects of skiing

Yeay but that other guy is the master of boots. He knows more than any of those pro guys, he might know more about boots than anyone else and he said something similar.
So you are wrong and stfu about the pros.

You can't be more than 18 with a name like that and with sucking pro skiers dicks.
He actually proved a point. Those pros are sponsored by boot companies that make both 2 piece and 3 piece. And they chose to go with 3 piece.
3 piece > 2 piece for freestyle / mogul

Just because you are sponsored by a brand, it doesn't necessarily mean that the brand actually works for you.
Over the last 20+ years, I've had simply too many athletes have issues with 3-piece boots because they simply weren't the right boot for them. This is not to say that 3-piece doesn't work, it just might mean that there is a better option out there for you.
Having the right fit & flex for you > simply stating that 3-piece for freestyle/moguls.
What issues are these athletes reporting with their 3 piece boots?

Mainly shinbang, but general discomfort associated with the boot not matching their anatomy (toe bang, ankle pain, lack of heel hold, etc.) or the forces they encounter while skiing (= often being in too soft of a boot).
i found out my feet need 100mm last, im a big fan of my dalbello kryptons. i bought a pair of roxa shells last summer and used them this past winter when a buckle blew on my dalbellos, the roxa’s are the best boots ive found yet tho. so damn comfy when unbuckled but nice n stiff too
