Some percentage of the gain you are experiencing Gary is just the difference in stiffness and lateral stiffness. I seem to remember that you were in a Raptor 120 which skis out of the box in a 110 flex. The difference between that and a 130 flex boot is very significant. Obviously if this boot fits you better, then the benefits from that are significant as well. Each time you step up in stiffness it makes it impossible to go back. I never thought I would be skiing in a 170-180 flex boot (the dodge) but now that I am in it, I know I could not ski anything less stiff.

I will say again that the conventional wisdom about keeping sikiers in soft boots is really a fallacy!! My wife at 118 lbs skis in 110 flex boots and they are not even close to being too stiff and she is not nearly the skier that I am.

Great to hear tha you are loving the boots and that the performance gains are significant!!

Have Ron and Phil abondoned this site? Sure looks that way. Maybe they think it is has moved to far to the left into PMTS country.
