I'm in my fourth year skiing, and have skied about 80 days total. Almost all of those days have been on a pair of Rossignol Experience 77 skis and Technica Cochise 100 boots. I'm 5'11", 180 pounds. I feel good skiing just about any groomed run on the east coast, and am just starting to enjoy skiing just off piste and in trees when the snow is good. I ski primarily on the east coast, but get out west for about 5 days a season.
I've thought for a long time about upgrading my skis, and a couple weeks ago pulled the trigger on a pair of Nordica Enforcer 93s. I had the chance to ski them for the first time this past weekend, and absolutely loved them. The stability at speed and edge hold are miles ahead of the Experience 77s I had been skiing.
The new skis got me wondering, though, if it's time I think about moving to a stiffer boot.
Do you all take into account ski stiffness and width when thinking about boot flex? Are there signs that would indicate a boot is too flexible for a skier? Or am I just getting in my head when I just keep skiing?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and feedback!
