I’m looking for a trustworthy, capable boot fitter for boots I have. The comfort part is ok. I’m looking for alignment.
I purchased new boots the last part of 2019 season and skied in them about 9 times. They transformed my skiing in a few big ways compared to my old boots.
I ski fairly aggressively and often. Over the last three years put in 56, 65 and 90 days on 165 FIS slalom skis (the last two years). People at the mountain have been suggesting I get an alignment as something to get done versus an issue. That and W. Witherell have made me think it is something I should get checked.
I assume a fitter makes more money for more adjustments so I’m looking for a guy that would say I don’t need anything if that is the case or install just what is needed if was the case.
Over the years I have dealt with many many boot places and have close to zero confidence in boot sellers or fitters I have dealt with.
I was thinking an option might be to go to a few places and pay for an evaluation only and let them know up front that I would not be having them do any work.
I am in Marlbrough, Mass and don’t care about where a good fitter is. Going anywhere in New England would be ok.
I have gleaned from some Pug posts the following as competent but I am just as interested in honest.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
