Thank you Hans Ludwig and Powder Magazine for so eloquently and effectively making the case for people to patronize specialty ski shops, especially those that really know how to fit and modify ski boots, like all the America’s Best Bootfitters member shops. As Ludwig points out, specialty shops are an endangered species under severe attack from on-line shopping sites and big box stores. When one disappears it makes the sport that much poorer. Come visit an ABB shop and experience what true service is all about!
