Im looking to buy some ski boots for aggressive riders in the resort? Im thinking maybe the full tilt first chair 8 or 10s. Any suggestions?

What did your bootfitter recommend?

Seriously, there are broad categories of boots for different purposes but we don't know what your foot looks like anatomically or otherwise. Your best bet is to research the best fitter in your area and have a go.

OP I see you shred Whistler . There is a NSer by the name Tom P. Can’t remember his last name.
Hes a bootfiiter in Whistler that a lot of pros go to.
Find him and get fitted, then pitted.

Intuition liners, adjustable forward lean...why not go with those and have your fitter work them for you?

Tom Pietrowski (I probably butchered that name.) He works at Comor in Whis and is a rad bootfitter. Go see him!

I ride the dalbello panterra 120s, they r a bit heavy but they hold up really nice and are really comfortable, there is a pretty good deal on them on evo right now, have heard good things from friends about the first chair 10s as well

The new Lupos with tech fittings and standard shell material look really promising. My Lupo AX's are ridiculously light but I can see a visible mark on the boot toes every time I eject kind of bug me. I smeared some marine tex in the concave gouges in the toes and it actually seems to have helped though. That stuff is durable as hell.
