Dude, you hould have skimped a little more so you could afford better boots. Boots are what will make or brake a day on the slopes. The best all-around boot right now if your free-skiing and your in the park are the Salomon 1080's, no questions asked, they are like 399 here in canada, if you're in the US, I have no idea, probably 49.95, after you do the exchange.
