OK so heres the deal. I've used the same bootfitter for the past few years, he was really great and basically the only good fitter at that shop. He made me custom footbeds and it almost completely corrected all my skiing issues. However, he isn't working for anyone this winter since he has a broken tib/fib, an I'm in DESPERATE need of new ski boots. I've been talking to said bootfitter and he recommended me a boot (Tecnica). I really need to find somewhere that sells Tecnica boots, and can do a lot of corrective work on boots along with custom footbeds.
I'm willing to drive within reasonable distance from seacoast NH, for somewhere that fits boots well.
Also, mods move this to Regionals if you think it belongs there

Im not sure if hes still working there but my favorite bootfitter works at the ski shop at Sugarloaf. The last time i went to him he was a t a different shop though so i am not sure if he still has access to his old tools. Also one of the bootfitters at Jay ski depot is pretty good but i think they stopped doing custom footbeds.

Glen from Sport Thoma in lincoln NH. He's easily the best bootfitter I've ever had. Also if you have problems with a pair he fit for you, bring them to him and he'll fix them for free.

Jack Frost on the way up to Sunday River has a really high tech boot fitter. I have no personal experience with him but my dad got custom foot beds from him and couldn't have been more pleased. If your ever up that way stop in and he will help you out.

Head to Fire on the Mountain in Dover, or the 45 min drive to Ken Jones in Manchester both good options, VT is a long drive from UNH and most places in maine won't pop up until about Sunday River

come in to Fire on the Mountain in Dover, NH. We carry all the new gear plus we have Andy. Andy happens to be the best boot fitter in all of the east coast, no fuckin lie. Custom anything you want. he's been working in ski shops for centuries!
All times are Eastern (-4)
