In the market for new ski boots after my Atomic Overload's shell cracked... very disappointing.

Anyway, I'm 17 and I assume that my foot is done growing. I think it's time for a good pair of boots that will last me a few seasons as least..

-150ish lbs
-5ft 5in

I would say I'm a pretty proficient skier as I'm able to do cork 9, rodeo, ect. So NS, do you think these boots from your experience with them or from what you've heard, are these good boots? Or is there anything I should be looking out for?

Bummer to hear about your boots cracking, are they still within the warranty period?

If they're not (or you're not the original owner), keep in mind that the next best boot for you is the one that fits you the best, not the one that is marketed for your skiing style. The boots you mentioned fit very differently and a bit unlikely that both will work for you. Your best bet is to go to a boot-fitter and have him select the best option for you. Once you do that, you'll have a boot that will butter, stomp huge jumps, ski pow, and rip GS turns. Don't get fixated on a brand, don't get fixated on a model. Just get the best option for your biomechanical needs and your feet & skiing will thank you.
