where do CT skier go for your boots? ive always gone to alpine haus in whethersfield for most of my equipment, and they seem like they know what they are doing for boots, but im interested in what other people opinions are for the best bootfitters in the area.

i love suburban because they have a huge selection of equipment, but i went there maybe 4 years ago for new racing boots and they just had me try on 3 random boots and asked me which felt most comfy. they didnt really seem to put much effort towards making sure i was getting the best fitting boot available, so i wasnt super impressed.

Colorado ski shop if you can. I go to the one in Massachusetts and it is very well run and everyone knows their stuff. I'm not 100% sure how the one in CT is but I'm sure it is similar, but its is smaller than the one in MA. If you can I'd make the extra 15 minute trip to the one in MA it'll probably have more of a selection.

alpine haus is always dope, if you get the right guy for your boots you'll be set up great, not sure about any of the others. Bob's Sports Chalet has a realllly good master bootfitter, only go to him though i forget his name so you'll have to ask, anyone else there isn't that great.
