Poster: A snowHead
|
I need a new pair of ski boots, and as I'll be in Meribel for 3 to 4 weeks over Christmas/New Year, I'm planning on getting them in resort as I'll have plenty of time to bed them in and go back if there's any problems.
Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good bootfitter there.
Thanks

Sorry to go off on a slight tangent (I don't think it warranted a new thread) - It was my intention to have my feet and boots seen to by CEM but unfortunately time and circumstances didn't allow. I won't be able to get to Bicester before Christmas, so I'm now on ther look out for a recommended boot fitter (to look at my existing boots) in Val D'Isere over the New Year.
Thanks

There's a pro by the name of Bernard Chesneau in val. He owns Ski-mastery ski school.
He used to align the Atomic or Rossignol racers. Has all the equipment (laser measuring, heel shaving etc.) His phone number is +33 (0) 6 14 27 15 60

jimmjimm, Bernie is an alignment guy rather than a boot fitter, Precsion is definately the place...unless you are feeling rich when you may want to vist Pat Zimmer at Topski
