I will be in Whistler in a few weeks, and will be picking up new boots. Which shop has the best selection and best fitters?

If you have a big budget, go to Surefoot. You will not be disappointed

For a high end boot and the full custom fitting (custom orthotic, injection mold liner, shell punching if necessary) plan on spending over 1 grand.  If you don't want to spend that much you can get them to punch any boot and do a custom orthotic if you want (not sure on the price of that). I just got some 2012 Lange RX 120's done there, money well spent.

Check out Fanatyk Co as well, they do good work and this seasons boots are on sale now, lots of talented fitters there. Surefoot is awesome as well but make sure you get someone that has been working with their system for a few years, there are some new guys this year who are ok but not amazing.

This is probably true. But, you're going to be dropping big dolla to get a custom fit job. Like someone else said, it's about a grand to get a good boot (depending on your foot size, shape, and what you need in a boot) plus all the fixins.

I've got to dynamic to get my boots punched and get some work done, and they worked out great.
