Well, I decided on the Revolts. My mom got them for me for a Christmas gift, so we ordered them today. I decided that it was good in the areas that I ski most often. I still would like to give some Blunt XLs a go, but maybe for me next pair. You all gave me a lot to to think about and I really appreciate all the advice!
Now I have to pick out some bindings for them! Of course the Snowblades had non-release, which I thought was so weird when I first got them, but I never had a problem with them. I though I would get non-release again, but now I'm not so sure. I like the secure, close-to-the-snow feeling of the non-release. But I do like being able to just step into the release bindings. Are they challenging to get off without poles to release them? Do they feel significantly higher off the snow than the non-release?
I love the idea of trying snowboard boots, but I think I'd like to get settled into new boards first. I know snowboard boots are more flexible than skiboots...do you still feel as in control with the snow board boots? It would be so nice to wear snow board boots instead of ski boots that make my shins hurt by the end of the day. Since I've only tried snowboarding a couple of times several years ago, I'm a little rusty on what the feel is like. I just reminder the snowboard motion being more of a rolling from heel to toe to control the board and wondered how that translated on skiboards.
Thoughts?
