ski boot stiffness

Has anyone had success making a Tecnica Mach1 120 LV stiffer? The boot is very comfortable and seems like it would be warm. However, it flexes a lot more than the other 2 boots I am considering which concerns me (have only had them on at room temp). If I added a carbon fiber T-Drive spine...

Hello there, I am in the process of getting my new gear for the next season. I work as a ski guide for a hotel in Baqueira-Beret, ES and am on the slopes 5-6 hours every day during the season (off-piste as well). Unfortunately, all European resorts closed down due to COVID19 in the middle of...

I recently ordered some Lange rx130 boots in 100 last, they'll be the first new boots I've owned in probably 15 years (basically stopped skiing cold turkey.) The last few pairs I did own were Lange WC Plug boots. No idea what they were called, but I do remember they were the legit plug boots and...
