Can't think of any non-comp, park skiers on race boots though.

Quan does, and many others do too. They ride what fits them the best and what they find comfortable. "Park boots" don't exist, it's just marketing.

At least 85% of Atomic's freeski athletes are on Redsters for resort skiing or big lines, from our pipe skiers like Nico to The Blondes to McNutt to the big guns on the FWT.

my bro rides on some Firebird 140s. I mean if you're an aggressive skier and you need a tightfitting stiff flex performance boot hen a raceboot works. As said above, 'park boots' is just a marketing play to get 12 year olds to get they mamas credit card and get some wallisch full tilts

Do they ski Redsters CS or even narrower more race oriented boots? What liners do they use?

Redster CS. While that boot is our non-race race boot, it is thicker/more powerful than other brands' offerings. There's no need for them to go to the TI or STI.

As for liners, some are in the (stock) Mimic World Cup and some are in the Mimic Professional. Just kind of depends on product availability given how effed everything still is.

Does it feel stiffer or on par with Atomic Hawx ultra 130 but more damp/smoothes chatter better?

I’m kinda looking for a new boot. And checking for my options. While my feet are made for Hawx Ultra shell, I’m on the fence about their weight.

It's not so much a "stiffer" boot as it is a more stable boot, if that makes sense. A Redster boot will always smooth out chatter and be more damp than a Hawx boot. That will also be the same for other brands' commercial race boot vs. their 130 all-mountain boot (Firebird vs. Mach1, Raptor vs Formula, Dobermann vs. Promachine, etc.).

With that said, the Blister crew is pretty blown away by the new Ultra (in both its regular version & Professional). The new Ultra skis really well, definitely a huge improvement over the first generation.
