Hey all,
Love the K-Zone and the great information that is disseminated here. Can't thank "ski" enough for the Moment Ski recommendation, but that's another topic. I am planning to buy new boots in the next few weeks and have heard good reviews of the Full Tilt (old Raichle Flexon) boots. Anyone have them? What model would you recommend for me? I am an advanced recreational skier who skis all levels of terrain from groomers to trees to bumps. Most of my skiing is on the Ice Coast, with a trip out West every year or two.
Secondly, I appreciate the importance of a good boot fitter and am thinking of driving up to Hunter to be fitted by Irwin in the base lodge. Has anyone used him before?
Thanks folks!

Re: Full Tilt Boots Anyone?
I have Full Tilt boots and so does the rest of my family. I like them because they allow me to flex better than the old boots. They are also easier to get on and off. Ray at the Basin did my boot fitting.

Thanks for the feedback. A recommendation from someone who skis as much as you is especially valuable.

All the freestyle dudes pretty much swear by them. They're not a racing boot, but I'm not a racer...

Bill Johnson won his Olympic Downhill Gold wearing a Raichle Flexon. Same boot.
