i was looking around for ski boots. because i am a very cheap person i am limited to a couple pairs. so far i have found the rossignol scratch boots and salomon spk kreation. i ski 60% park but i spend a good amount of time in the woods so i dont know if the spks would be a good choice. any suggestions.

1) gear talk
2) bootfitter (nobody can possibly recommend boots without knowing what type of foot you have)

i have the scratches and i like them a lot. real comfy, good flex (im 130 lbs), they are great in park and are good in the big mountain as well. if you like a softer boot, its a good choice.

I have the SPK (but pros)

and although i can't say anything about the scratch boots, I really do enjoy my SPK's.

i like the scratch boot better but you would have to go and get a shell fit and figure out what boots fits the best

i LOVE my SPKs even in the backcountry, except they're really cold. but the flex is awesome
