I'm an all mountain/big mountain skier and looking for a new pair of boots. I'm like 5'8" and 135 and ski pretty aggressively... Any suggestions on a type of boot or flex for me?

You definitely need to see a bootfitter. We can't determine what would fit your foot over the internet. Look at the boot buying thread stickied at the top of gear gabber

Definitely want to see a bootfitter to dial your fit. We can give you some broad suggestions concerning flex and stuff provided you tell us height, weight, skiing ability, more specifically what terrain will you be riding?

Unfortunately it does not work like that. The boot fitter will look at your feet and determine which boots will fit you the best and also match the performance you require. There will probably only be 2-3 boots that will work in the whole shop, so let the boot fitter do his job and let him select the boot for you.
