Jack Michaud-"I'm of the school of thought that says money spent on a compromise is money wasted, because you will eventually upgrade to what you really want."
I Agree 100%. I use to ride the board below with an alpine stance with soft boots. I know I will love hard boots. I always wanted a stiffer set up. Heck, When I bought soft boots last year for my Solomon 164, I told the guy at the shop give me the stiffest soft boot! I dont care what they look like!
trikerdad-"I prefer Bomber's but, a set of Catek's is a good first binding as they're easier to make cant and lift adjustments to and, they fit both 4 hole and 3 hole boards."
Thanks for the Input. It seems either would be a good choice.
boarderboy-"Always your #1 priority! Central N.C.'s access to hardboot gear is probably worse than Cleveland/Milwaukee. But there's a decent ski boot fitter some 20 miles away from me, even."
Can a regular ski shop measure me up for boots in the "mondo" scale?
Jim-"It always helps to show your physical specs for members advice. All gear is not created equal."
My bad, you are right. I am about 180lb & 6' tall.
trikerdad-"I didn't say anything about your post but, only offered another opinion. Or, is that not what this forum is about?"
No problem. Thank you for your input.
Any thoughts on boots? Manufacturers? What thei difference is in there line of product?
Thanks again,
