Replying to Leg Pain/New Boots

  Thus far this season I have taken trips to both montana and whistler and spent a fair amount of time in the park, more so that previous seasons. The impact from landings in the park has caused a pretty serious amount of pain in both my shins and calves. The pain is similar to shin splints but on both the front and rear and my legs and so intense that it is pretty miserable to ski at all right now. I am wondering if any of you all have experienced a similar problem and what you did to fix it? Would new boots suited more for park skiing make a difference? I am currently skiing on a pair of Nordica boots that are about 5 years old.


         Thanks
