Wenge, Murren or Grindelwald - if/when they are open for skiing?

The key question, Jenkins, as Hudman said - is when exactly?
Snow .........

Nelly,
I feel I must apologise on this one - I know I said snow today......

Something is going wrong with my comunications obviously.

Another sacrifice tomorrow should do the trick!

Getting ski boots that fit
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 35 Replies
Hang on - except for a potential language issue surely resort based boot fitters are as likely to be competent as UK based fitters??? After all it is their job.

Bought in resort last year (L2A) - very good experience. Previous boots bought in resort in 1998 (Tignes), equally good experience, previous boots got in resort in 1987 ( Meribel).

Now I know my feet are easy to fit but I actually like the idea of skiing on new boots immediately and having someone on hand with a vested interest in keeping me smilling while I am in their resort - and available to tweak if needed.

Surely it's just down to personal preferences??

Oh dear Snowplough - I do feel for you with this.
I am one of the lucky ones with bog standard feet and have never had any problem finding comfy well fitting boots.

Have you been able to come to any consensus from all the shops about what the problem is? Or are they all saying something different? No idea what to suggest with arches, web feet and things.
:cry:

Somewhere there is a list of boot fitters from an organisation hopefully someone who knows will be along soon.
I cannot believe that there isn't a really good and patient bootfitter somewhere near you who can help.
Good luck!
