Boots for expert but lightweight skier?

[Skiingisfun]

Any boot experts here? Please save me from spending hours on google. I need a great boot with a lower flex. 130lbs but expert skier.

Also, any advice on flex? I have two pairs (alpine 130 flex and and backcountry 120 flex). Both too stiff so I had the tongues on the alpine boots cut. I loosen the top buckles on both pairs to get more flex but don’t like the loose feeling.

Would Full Tilt boots work? I don’t ski in the park...

Is this the right place to post this? I’m new. Criticize away.

It's usually easy to make boots softer. Go to a boot fitter and they'll take care of you.

Full Tilts, for sure. 10 flex tongue, or 8 flex if you need a 28 mondopoint boot or larger.

buy for fit first, then flex

1) small boots can be made bigger
2) stiff boots can be made softer

Thanks everyone. Good ideas.

FWFIF i'm also 130lbs and I ski a Dalbello lupo 130 and do not find it too stiff at all.

Not too soft either? Thanks.

I think it's pretty perfect. Added intuition power wraps and expert booster straps and it's pretty dialed.

I'm 135lbs and ski Dalbello Krypton with the soft tongues ("110" flex) + expert Booster strap, and MTN Labs ("120" flex). Noticed I was getting pretty deep into the Krypton flex for the first time last weekend, so maybe I'll go to the stiff tongues. Then again, my lower legs aren't currently in pain, so maybe soft is good.

Try Lange xt free tour 130. Much softer than race 130. Super light. My weight is 70kg and it is my favourite ski boot.
