Hey ns, Wanted to know if the dalbello krypton could be used for serious all mountain skiing along with park. I want a boot with flex but not too much that it takes away from performance on the steep runs. I tried a pair on in the store and they are pretty soft and am not sure. Thanks!

Go to a bootfitter, he will expalin all of the ins and outs of the boot if they fit. There are multiple models, and just like any boot they can be made stiffer by simply limiting the forward flex of the boot. The kryptons all have a set of different forward flex limiting stiffeners. And the pro would be the stiffest model. If it is stiff enough for pro skiers like t-hall, glenn plake, and many others to rip from the park to chamonix to ak i'm pretty sure there is a stiff enough version out there for u

the krypton pros are awesome all mountain boots. you can do several cuff adjustments as well as changing the tongues to make them stiffer. they range from like 100-140. i think i have mine at around 130 now, they're 1 setting off being the stiffest

they come with the only 2 flexes they make i believe. there was a rumor about an even stiffer tongue that was released in europe but i think dalbello said that was some form of prototype
