    Anyone looking to buy some 170 Kendos? Pretty light use I bought them off a guy 2 years ago and I've only used them 5 times since probably. Demo bindings are marker can't remember the model though pretty good bindings.

    Oh yeah. I remember now. You had posted that site.
    Yeah. I do stuff anywhere there is snow and a slope really. I am on a splitboard. Mostly the Berkshires but am willing to travel. Have always wanted to get into the ADKs in the winter.
    These past couple winters I have taken to some uphill traveling to earn the turns. Has been great considering the quality of the natural snow and when I can get out. Have been to Mt. Snow and Bromley to do that. Both were very cool with it.

    I have an alignment issue (canting), so I'm going to need to get new boots with bottoms that can be milled, even though I got brand new Nordica Firearrow F1's last year.

    What sise are you, maybe my boots will fit you.

    Got it.
    Boots flex index are different for each manufacturer but somewhat within reason of eachother. That's a decent flex for an aggressive skier but also depends on your weight and height. Also your foot shape plays a part. Certain manufacturers tend to be wider or narrower than others. Last is important in boot fit and performance.

    Honestly, go and spend some extra money for boot fitting. It's worth the extra money.

    The boots I have now I had the inserts done at the place at killington...it was the 1st pair I had ever had the custom inserts in... And probably the last.. There is nothing wrong with them I just don't think the improvement is worth the $...

    I'm not talking just footbeds. Have you ever had your boots punched? You can only do so much with a boot that's not even close to your foot.
    There is nothing wrong with that boot you want, just make sure it's the right fit.
