Hey,
I am looking for a boot within $200-400 that is a park slayer and also sick in the backcountry and big mountain. I ski park about 60% of the time, the rest I ski with my friend who is obsessed with big mountain and cliffs, so i need a boot that can do both well. Right now I ski on some langes that are pretty bad for both, they are stiff as hell, no forgiveness, and super heavy. I don't want to buy a park specific boot because I feel like it will suck off cliffs and in the backcountry, while a big mountain boot would give me shinbang in the park...
right now i am looking at four boots,
my first choice right now would be the ace of spades, on the nordica website it seems like it is built mostly for park but it is stiff enough for the backcountry, plus the light weight, gel shock absorber and 3-buckle system seem good, so I am pretty interested in this.
my second choice would be the full tilt originals, since they are probably pretty light and a good mix of the park boots and big mountain specific ones, however the website doesn't say exactly what the boots are meant to do, do you think these would be good for both park and all mountain?
my third choice is the full tilt hot doggers, since they seem like a total park slayer, and then I could buy another set of stiffer tongues for big mountain maybe, and then since they have the shock absorption system that could work alright, what do you think?
then spk, looks like a park killer, but seem too soft and flexy for anything else, since they only have two buckles...
What would you reccomend out of these and how are your personal experiences w. them or are there other boots you suggest????
thanks! and +K for replies
