I hope my input is more useful for anyone else considering a new purchase, and maybe it can help the shop owner identify some gaps in quality control. *Purchased on 4/7, follow up on 4/11. Hawx Ultra 110 Boa @ $979* I know this store probably encounters a lot of entitled tourists, but that's not who I am. I'm a bit shy and easy going, and sometimes you just don't quite realize how bad an experience was until afterwards. In retrospect I should have bought elsewhere, but was excited to get boots and hit the slopes quickly. That's where I'm coming from and why I went through with a purchase I didn't feel good about. The guy helping me had an attitude. He wasn't flat out rude, but definitely had an air of superiority to him. He's a local, expert skier, combined with a lifetime of experience, and I was just another tourist he had to help. It was a dismissive attitude and every question was answered as if it was a dumb one. He talked to the other workers just as much as he talked to me, if not more. I got the impression the shop owner was not around on those days. He asked me some basic questions without much follow up and made some incorrect judgments based on that limited info. He quickly measured my foot, and told me what I suspected, I have flat low volume feet on the narrow side with some pronation. I told him it makes sense because most of my running shoes are LV stability shoes. He pulled out some fancy, high end boots to try first. They felt good and it was even from a line of boots I had noted as a possible choice while doing my own research. He then pulled out a much stiffer (race?) boot which I knew wasn't going to be good. The 3rd pair was a MV boot which I knew probably wouldn't work either since we knew my foot was LV. To recap, I was asked limited questions, quickly measured, and tried on 3 boots total. The second two seemed to be ones he knew would be wrong for me and push me towards the first more expensive ones. This was nothing like the boot fittings I've heard of. People told me about trying on tons of boots, working to replicate perfect positioning, and spending 2 hours finding their ideal fit. I was in a bit of shock when he seemed finished with me after I tried on the first boots a second time. My fitting was wrapping up after only 30 minutes and no other options were being presented. I ended up paying $900 for a boot that was being sold for $500-600 at every other place I could find. I didn't realize this until I got back to my room and looked it up. Immediate buyer's remorse sunk in. I just didn't have the nerve to return them at that point. I hoped he would make it right during the follow up. I would have been satisfied paying the full MSRP price difference if I was receiving a true boot fitting experience and quality time towards a perfect fit, but I didn't receive either of those things. It's also important to mention that he misquoted the boot for $800 until we reached the register, casually noting the difference. During my follow up I told him my inner ankle bones were rubbing. He said a footbed might help, but he could try one thing first. I saw my opening to mention the price difference. I said "I know I'm paying for your expertise and time, but noticed a $300-400 difference. Do you think you could give me a discount on a footbed or anything to help me feel a bit better about that?" He rudely dismissed it and said "well if you wanna buy the wrong boot somewhere else and bring it here it would cost you hundreds for me to fix it. I quickly dropped it, but disagree with everything he said. I could've easily bought the same boot based on my own research. He didn't do any worthwhile alterations or add any value suggesting a line of boots I was already eyeing. He unscrewed the boot boards and tossed the screws aside, "ah you don't need those." Even if they were not important, I would have preferred he kept them as the manufactured intended or at least saved the screws. He duct taped some inner heal wedges while distractedly chatting with the other workers. The right felt a bit better, but the left felt worse. He replied, "That's not possible cause the inserts make it so your ankle leans the other way now." He didn't try to address the issue any further. The next day I skied for an hour before having to stop and check them. I found the issue... It was completely out of place. The pictures attached show how I found them and the lack of effort in the work. I borrowed tape and fixed them myself. 2 hours wasted on my final day. TLDR; didn't get a proper boot fitting experience, over paid by around 40%, had to fix sloppy alteration work myself, probably got the wrong boot. Overall really bummed at the waste of money and time, but mostly just disappointed I didn't get a real boot fitting experience.

Looking to finally upgrade my ski boots after 15yrs (yea, I know that is about 2x longer than I…read moreshould have been skiing on them). Podium in Frisco was recommended by several friends - just Wow. The ski boot selection is completely over the top. There must have been 30 different kinds of boots to choose from (total for both men's and women's). The team there (Reilly and John) treated us like royalty and did everything necessary to make sure we (i) got the boots that fit our feet (my wife has pretty unique feet), and (ii) boots that fit our ski-ability. The boots were molded to our feet, heels, etc. and she got a heating unit - pretty sick!! The price for what we got was super reasonable - I checked on the web while sitting at the shop and Podium was ~20% cheaper than what I found from virtually every online store for the boots I bought. I skied on them the next day and it was INSANE how much more comfortable I was and how much more control I had skiing. Yes, I said "comfort" and "ski boots" in the same sentence, crazy. For anyone buying boots or any ski gear (I also bought a new helmet), I highly recommend Podium. (I gather they do mountain bike and other cycling gear in the spring/summer)

They checked us in right away. There were five of us (2 adults and 3 kids) who needed gear. They began measuring us right away. They were very detailed and meticulous in making sure everyone had the right sizes. I love how they explained to the kids how the boot should fit and feel. One of the associates traded out the boots twice just to make sure the size was just right. It was the same when measuring the length of the skis and making sure they were the right fit. Everyone was super nice and thorough. The whole process was really efficient. I love how close to Keystone Resort this location is. We can't wait to go to Christy's again.
