Hello all,
I am a long time lurker that has found Pugski to be a wonderful source of information, especially if one is a southeastern skier; this area is not exactly a hotbed of all things skiing.
My new boots are Salomon s/max 130’s fit by Mike Tambling at Southern Ski. Mike fit my last pair of Atomic Freerace boots and they were great; the S/Max’s are better as the fit is quite snug with no pressure points as of yet.
On all of my previous boots I immediately removed the velcro power strap and installed Booster straps. The new style strap on the S/max seems to clearly be a better design but does not have the elasticity of the Booster strap.
Does anyone have experience with the S/max straps and thoughts on whether to keep them or replace them with the Booster straps?
Any thoughts or input are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Mark W.
