meput,

Nordica Dobie 150's......as they say in Texas Holdem, you went all in! And from a 100 flex boot...welcome to a REAL boot. Think they are stiff now, wait until next winter trying to get out following a cold Maine ski day. ToddW was telling me some tales about getting out of his new stiff Head boots earlier in the season.

As you are a PMTS student, the focus is tipping not flexing, so, I think you will quickly make the on-snow transition and the stiff flex stops being a noticeable difference. (So say the man who skis a Nordica 130) plus you have a good bootfitter to help.  I'm a Nordica fan, and, if I was in your shoes, er...boots, I just might have done the same purchase.

It's all about how they ski for you and the feedback you get. By all means, keep us informed of your progress. Both Ron and JB are on new, stiffer boots this year and it's been interesting to learn about the longer term transition.

Keep pulling your feet back under your hips

Good long term investment in your skiing. Plus, you get extra credit when you tell us mere mortals "My boots are Dobie 150's!"
