Me: quite a good skier but hot and cold. I ski on the Head ti Titan Super Speed (short) 170. It's a great ski for me but I would say it is at top end of my physical capacity. I am 65 and have had troubles with conditioning and fatigue. But I like to crank turns... been skiing forever.
For a current boot, I am skiing the Salomon Course. I think it's a 120 but it has been radically softened - something like 90 to 100. I have an extremely loose foot, too much mobility. I have a lift in the front of the boot. I have purchased 6 pairs of boots over the past 10 years. This has been the best set up so far.
When I ski, the lower three buckles are snug but the top one is as loose as I can make it without coming unbuckled. The power strap is left with additional room so it does not come into play unless I flex deeply. I have never been able to flex a boot to put me in position to ski well without all of the softening and the crazy stuff that goes on at the top of the boot.
I work with great boot fitters, and it has been suggested that I consider a women's boot. Please don't tell anyone. I was hoping to get feedback on this idea. Has anyone ever seen a women's boot used for a man? I am seriously tempted.
