CUSTOM SKI BOOT FITTING IN OLYMPIC VALLEY

Our Palisades Tahoe location is at the base area in Olympic Valley. Palisades is one of the largest ski resorts in North America — 3,600 acres of iconic terrain from the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics.

Your fitting starts with a 538-point foot scan. Your fitter recommends custom orthotics and foam-injected liners based on your feet and skiing. These are fitting options; your fitter will explain what each adds. A one-person custom boot fitting takes a little over an hour.

We've fit everyone from first-day beginners to FIS World Cup racers to guests who thought their skiing days were over until we got them into the right boot. Walk-in appointments are available when space permits, but we recommend booking ahead during peak season.

WHAT TO EXPECT

01
Orthotic Scan
A 3D imager and pressure-sensitive digitizer scan your feet at 538 points, giving your fitter a detailed picture of your foot shape.
02
Assessment
Your fitter evaluates your skiing history, ability, build, and goals. Combined with your scan data, they select the optimal boot from over 100 models across every major brand.
03
Fabrication
If you choose custom orthotics, a three-axis CAD/CAM mill shapes EVA blanks from your foot scan. Each orthotic is finished and hand-trimmed in the store while you try on shells.
04
Custom Liner
If you choose custom liners, memory foam is injected while you stand in the boots. It solidifies around your feet in about five minutes.
05
Hit the Mountain
Walk out and ski. No break-in period. Adjustments are free for the lifetime of your boots. This guarantee does not cover the natural breakdown of materials over extended time and use.
