Poster: A snowHead
|
We're going to Les Arcs on 4 January, and my daughter needs new boots. We're staying in 1950, but we'll have a car, so can easily travel to any of the villages, or to BSM. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good boot fitter in LA/BSM?
Thanks.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@timlongs, interesting - when I asked around in 1800 I received many recommendations for Laboshop in BSM who did a very good job of fitting boots for me.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The team, especially Ben, at the Intersport at the top of Plan Peisey village (near the Sherpa) are very good, and where all the locals go.

UPDATE.
We visited every boot shop in 2000 and 1950, and also went to Labo in BSM. We learned that the bootfitter in Labo (a semi-mythical character called Ludo) doesn't work there every day, and he wasn't there the day we visited. None of the shops we visited could find a suitable boot, apart from Precision Ski 1950, where the bootfitter was confident he could find one. He also said it probably would take several visits for adjustments. We went back three times, and the result was a very well fitting ski boot. This is Sylvain's first season in LA, but he has worked in various Tarentaise resorts over the last 15 years. If you have a difficult foot, I'd recommend him strongly.
