By Ranked #139 - Men's Ski Boots October 24, 2008

Hi, I consider myself an advanced skiier as I ski almost any terrain (haven't done much backcountry) but I only ski about 10 days a year and am most definitely not an expert. Will the 110 flex in this boot be too much for me? I have never had a good pair of boots, and in the past I have ridden pretty soft ones.

It depends a lot on you, your weight, preference, etc. When I switched to a stiffer boot (110 flex, actually) last year ago my skiing improved a lot - I felt like I had way more control. Backcountry just published a great boot fit guide, check it out. http://www.backcountry.com/store/dc/668/Backcountry-Alpine-Ski-Boot-Fitting-Guide.html
