Hi all,
Recently discovered these forums + the sport of skiboarding, and I am trying to get the right gear! I recently purchased the Spruce 120cm with Spruce releasable bindings, and now I am looking for the right boots. I went to the local ski shop, but I am not sure if they know what they are doing. My mondo point was 27.5, and the guy said I had narrow feet. I tried on the Nordica Hot Rod 85s, which fit pretty well and I liked them, but they seemed like they have more of a forward stance? I've read on these boards that I should be looking for a more upright boot, that is softer? Does anyone have specific model recommendations?
Going to be skiing blues and blacks on the east coast, mostly just bombing down the mountain - no park for me. I've ski'd before many years ago, and I've been snowboarding (though not hardcore) for the past 5 years. My price ceiling is $500, but that is pushing it a bit!
