Ski Stop
1 review for Ski Stop
If you're in the market for your own ski gear consider this: Invest a load of time and effort making sure your boots fit! You'll feel and ski better. Yes, there's a ton of ski places such as REI, Ski Market, EMS, all of these stores within Boston. Why the heck would I drive out to Westwood to buy boots at Ski Stop?? The answer: abso-friggin'-lutely the best service and the best fitters.
When you go to a doctor's office, ever see all those plaques and framed degrees? "xx Medical School", "xx completed his/her residency in Orthopedics", and so on. Being a ski junkie I wanted to get my race boots tuned up, but it seemed like a crapshoot going to a large store. You might get some part-time schmuck who'd rather look forward to hitting on the next customer for a date, instead of making sure you get the right boot. Or you might get someone better than that. How would you know???
The closest thing to a degree that I could find was this: http://www.masterfitun.... Armed with that information, I located and brought my boots to Phil Burgess at Ski Stop... after making an appointment (definitely a good sign they mean business). In the store, he had tons of cards, e-mails and "thank you's" posted on the wall. Phil spent easily an hour analyzing how my feet and calves nested in my boots, and gave feedback about how and what he needed to do. After using his arsenal of tools to shape my footbeds and shell, I ended up with a pair of "tweaked" boots the felt great. My skiing was never better that year.
Whether you're buying gear or getting a fitting, make sure to call ahead and make an appointment. For a custom fit it'll cost $$ but they'll give you your money's worth in time, insight and effort.
