Are you just going to be in the park or are you going to ride the whole mountain. Cas is one thing but whis is a whole different story. Some swaths could work but don't get them online, get some boots fitted at the performance lab if you can. Honestly if I was you look at the new ghosts or the new overlords. I had the overlord 120's they are awesome. I had to leave them so if your a 26 you can have those. They are pretty beat but free. If you really want full tilts, tmc are your only option but they don't do fitting so you wil have to pay to have them fitted else where which will get expensive. Sore foot do sell ft too but obviously don't go there. Honestly go see jim at the lab and get fitted properly

Also just to say boots are way more expensive in whis then the uk, so why not go see slave before you go?

Also mate I had some spk's from last year. I got them in the 11/12 season so had more use but still really god condition. No liners though. You can those but honestly have the overlords they are so so much better even though they are more beat up

You will want the higher end ft's for sure if you go ft. Defiantly get some metal buckles. If your set on ft go for it mate freeze seem to have some good prices.
I think you will be surprised how little time you spend in the park though unless its a shitty snow year again like this one. If its anything like 10-11 and 11-12 you will be shredding the mountain not the park

ive had full tilts for a while and they seem to fit pretty well, collins fitted me for them way back and the spk fits wider feet if i recall?

Yeah spk's are wide and to be honest really out of date compared to what newer boots can offer. This is really the same with ft. It's old tech yes it works but they don't perform as well as the newer tech. Look at what most pros wear now its what would be considered a big mountain boot a few years ago. A ghost will fit the same as a ft but ski a lot better. The overlords are slightly better but should still fit or have a look at some langes. Even look at the new redster or blackster as they should have called it, they are really sick if the overlord is too wide.
Do you mean andy fitted you btw? If so who knows what you should really be in lol

Slighty wider not better, in regards to the overlord

Personally not had chance to no, I'm an amer guy but I have worked on plenty. Expensive but well made boots much better the ft in my opinion. I worked on plenty of kryptons and if they fit they are great just expensive.
Just a word of advice too go slightly stiffer then you think you need. I was in the 120 for park and they were not too stiff by any means. Iv ridden cas obviously and also snow park and what you need for them is very different to whis

Also get some new footbeds from slave before you go. He is better then anyone who makes them in whis, now I've left anyway lol

I own a pair fo 2012/2013 dalbello il moro T's im attempting to return them because the people i bought them with are really nice, but if that doesnt pull through i would be way down to sell them to you man, all around great boot im just not big enough 120 flex on 135lb kid is rough on my little boy bones, if you wanna chat just send me a message and ill keep them around for you should there be a problem. These kept my warm all the way into the way negatives and work great.
