I feel like people should be mentioning individual names and not just shops. There may be a shop that is mentioned that has one or two guys that really know what they are doing, but chances are there are also guys who will just recommend what is popular, ask your shoe size, then bring out a boot (unless you go somewhere like Surefoot).

"dude" at Cole Sports in Park City. He is the manager there, somehow he is always able to get my fat feet into 98mm last boots, and make them fit wonderfully.

There were a couple guys even at sports den that weren't that great. Not terrible by any means, but it felt like they just didn't know exactly what they were doing.

Sports Den is way overpriced, if you're paying for Sports Den just go to Surefoot at the canyons

I know parks in orem is a little bit out of the way, but the boot fitter we have has been doing it for like 30 years.  his names lynn and he is awesome.

I'm not sure if it's anymore but it used to be when you bought boots from Christy sports they would mold your boots and any other work you need done on them for free.

If your going to be getting new boots anyway might as well get some free molding thrown in and save a few bucks.

Who pays for heat molding? If you're local it is pretty easy to become friends with people who work at the smaller local shops. When you do you get heat molding, tuning, whatever for free

O.C, aka Chris(I think) hooked me up with a legit connection at rossignol to get my skis replaced, dudes there kick ass and seem to know what they're doing when it comes to anything skiing-related

Sports Den isnt that great. Just do your own research and you'll be okay. Heat molding is great as well.
