It’s time to get ready for the upcoming season. On hand to help guide your Athlete with equipment selection will be Representatives from Fischer, Blizzard, Nordica, Lange, Rossingnol and Head. and Garrick Dardani Master Boot Fitter and coach.
Areas of special importance:
- Ski lengths
- Correct binding for weight and ability of athlete
- Ski pole size [makes a big difference]
- The BOOTS. Correct size, correct flex,
Boots are the most important piece of the skiing puzzle. All age groups and ability levels will benefit from getting set up or at least assessed in their boots before the season starts.
Besides fit and flex we need to get the alignment of the boots right, that means that the forward angle is right for you, the lateral cant , cuff alignment is set right, do the knees track correctly? We need the knee to track towards the second toe; this is called lateral stance balance. My own area of frustration on the hill is the boot that does not close around the athlete’s leg, buckles are maxed out and you can still see inside the boot!
At fit Day I can size up boots and do an assessment but many times we will need to schedule an appointment for the full fitting. This is to important to rush through
- Helmets and armor
- Perfect time to get existing skis prepared and hot boxed for the season.
The Deal with a fit day is:
USSA pricing on all equipment
I offer 30% off all Swix wax and equipment
Poc and Slytec Helmets and armor are offered at race form price.
I do have a selection of used Equipment for sale.
New this year I have added the Wintersteiger Omega RS 350 stone grinding machine. This is the most up to date machine for precisely grinding race specific patterns such as wave and arrow patterns.
