We offer a quick service turnaround on boots of any brand — no appointment needed but they are greatly appreciated. Stop by our First Stop Custom Boot Fitting Center, and our expert in-store technicians will have your feet feeling more comfortable in no time at all.
We want to know about your concerns, learn about your skiing or snowboarding habits, and understand your goals. That way, we can provide exactly what you need to get the most out of your equipment.
One of our BootDocs® will put you on our podoscope to analyze your feet. We will discuss your skiing/riding preferences and help determine the best options for your feet. They’ll describe what they’re noticing and address any concerns.
From there, we'll discuss how we can get your old boots fitting as best as we can and if you're considering new boots we'll bring out a few different options for you to compare.
Once we narrow it down to the best boot and determine any pressure points we may need to custom fit we will heat up the boot's Custom Liner and Shell (if available). We can also heat mold custom foot bits to improve your performance, fit, and comfort.

Came in looking for new boots and the customer service was amazing. Kevin helped me try on 4 different boots before we got to the right pair. We hear molded them to my feet and haven’t looked back since! Great shop all around and can’t wait to be back in the future.
I can't begin to thank the staff here enough, they literally are resetting the bar for customer service for every other ski shop. I needed new ski boots badly, and two of the employees, William in particular, spent around two hours working with me trying on boots, and then to get the right boot molded to my feet...
