Hey everyone, I was hoping I could ask for your help with something.

We have a best of whistler awards each year hosted by one of the newspapers in town. It covers all aspects of town but the one aspect Im always interested in is the best bootfitter, being a whistler bootfitter myself. Its won nearly every year by this super old school bootfitter who to be honest does not do great work, but all his old friends vote for him.

I would love to see it changed up a bit and get a newschoolers bootfitter, namely me up in the rankings. Show the old dudes freestylers can do the job too.

If you wanted to help out you can go here and vote for me: http://posting.piquenewsmagazine.com/whistler/Survey?survey=2807432

You need to sign up but you can just click sign in with facebook and it only takes a moment to do. The page about retail is the last page so you can just skip through if you want until you see this section.


If you wanted to work for my buddy Harry too go for it and also a vote for comor for shop of the year would always be good.

If I manage to win ill get in the paper and I promise to wear my newschoolers tshirt and hoodie.

Lets show the old guard of whistler that the newschool generation is coming fr them. Thanks in advance.
