I went in to get sized for ski boots and had an incredible experience. I learned so much about the difference between how women and men ski and was fitted with boots that work well for my wide calves. Cathy was so patient, kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Nicest people! Trimmed my ski poles for free and I can’t wait to go back and browse through the ski jackets. Gorgeous selection!
