Hi -
Since I know very little about ski boots, I would welcome your thoughts on whether we should to go with a 60 flex boot or a 70 flex boot for my son.
- He is nine but on the smaller side for his age; currently 55 lbs and about 4'2" tall (likely won't be much bigger come ski season)
- He skied the Dalbello DRS Scorpion last season (60 flex / 20.5 size)
- He is a "good" skier - blues and blacks with some glades, double blacks and God know's what else thrown in there
- Will be mainly skiing in VT with perhaps a few days out west, so likely not too many days of deep powder
- Thinking to keep him on the same skies as last season; Rossignol Hero Kid X 110cm
The Dalbello boots were great last season so we were thinking of buying them again. We were just not sure if we should continue with the 60 flex this season or move up to the 70 flex. From what I can tell on the Dalbello website, there is little if any difference between the two boots other than the 10 point increase in flex.
Thanks
