I am going to go to the store and try them one, but just want some more input. My old boots are to soft. I ski some park, some groomers, alot of steeps and hiking, and pow whenever I can. What stiffness would anyone suggest and what boot would anyone recommend

whatever you like. just go try them on.
stiffness is all relative. some 95 lb kid isnt going to want to ride a 130 flex boot. just like i, at 200 lbs, arent gonna want to ride something with a flex of 90.
there is no way to recommend boots online, the only way to get them is to try them on in store, flex them, see how they grip your foot.

Well said Ben.
No, I've never heard of people having bad experiences with a specific boot. The only bad experiences that I hear, is when someone doesn't have a boot that fits them properly.

No it's not a dumb thread man, you just need to try the boots on.

While I agree with what Ben said, the fact is that flex rating isn't comparable across different brands. For example, a 130 flex Salomon Ghost boot wont be the same stiffness as an atomic nuke 130.
All times are Eastern (-5)
