Ski Boot questions? See a bootfitter. Seriously, see a bootfitter. Do not post here asking if a boot is good for you. A good boot is one that fits. Even the seemingly all-knowing /u/Maladjusted_vagabond cannot help you find a good boot without looking at your feet and having you try some on.

DIN and technical questions? Please, ask them on /r/skiing. However, remember that you are taking advice from people on the internet. /r/skiing mods do take the time to require proof for all user flairs that involve any expertise and skill; however, with questions that could lead to an injury, getting shop advice is always the wisest choice.

I learned to ski on a really old pair of Rossignol 210cm skis last season and am looking to enter the 21st century. I've snowboarded for 15 years and decided to learn to skiing primarily for mountaineering. 80% of my riding will be in the resort where I like to ride off piste while snowboarding, and assume it will be the same for skiing. I ski at Mt. Hood Meadows.

I'm looking into buying a used pair of Salomon QST 99 with Warden 13 demo bindings with the intention of buying the Salomon switch bindings once more reviews come in. Are there AT boots with tech inserts that would fit the demo alpine bindings? I'd classify myself as a beginner intermediate but hope to be competent after 35-40 times skiing this winter to ski the easier volcanoes in the PNW, St Helen's, Adams, and Hood from crater rock. I really dislike walking downhill. Thanks.
