I'm in boston getting a head start on sophmore year, but I'm from topsfield, right around the corner from you. We'll defintly carve it up sometime next season. You might see POW around here and he might even go to my school in 2 years so they'll be a bunch of us in the area. There are already a bunch of guys that go to wachusett too. I'll be there 3-5 times a week next year (if gas doesn't end up being $5/gallon):D
I have boots that WERE mondo 26 but i got them stretched out big time at Summit ski shop in danvers. You could try them out if you want to but they would be a bad guide for what size to get. After one more stretch, they will fit me perfectly.
You have 2 options in my opinion:
1. spring the extra buck and go to a bootfitter, your feet will thank you later. I'm not sure exactly how much it would run you though.
2. Buy a mondo 25 and if it doesn't fit right with the thermo liners (in most cases, its very neccessary to get them), get it stretched out to your liking. The heat up the boot and put a hydrolic thing into it to push the nose out. It costs around $40-50 at most places ive seen.
What is your budget? Just whatever you can earn this summer?
