Welcome and regarding the flex of the boot....

My question would be when standing in your boots on a flat hard surface all buckled up... place you arms in your pole carry position, let the knees relax..

where do you feel your weight...

are you on the balls of your feet, on your heels or centered over the top of your ankles? I have found this to be a critical starting point to sucessfull all mountain skiing.

If you are directly centered over your arches with equal presure on the front and rear of the the tongue, you might look at the mounting position of your bindings on your skis. Sometimes just moving that binding forward 10 to 15mm will allow for better fore aft control of your skis.

These are things that have helped me tremendously.   Best of luck...G
