Thread: Place to buy AT boots in Alberta? Need awesome fitting too, of course...

My old Garmont Megarides are due to be replaced. They have been a nice boot, especially after being upgraded with Intuition liners. So, I'm boot shopping. The problem is that my "boot dude" has left the business, and I need a new one. My target boots is the Scarpa Maestrale, or the RS version.

So, some good shops I should visit?

I"m in banff, with soul ski and bike. I'll be back Nov 1, but my co-worker "Jr" is great too.
We sell more alpine boots that are tour-able, rather then a AT boot that is skiable.
Happy to try you in the boots we have, or work on the boots that you bring into the store. (technica cochise, nordica hell n' back, and some others that I can't remember in the middle of summer)

Hey Dave, wasn't sure if you guys sold boots. I'd like to buy and get them fitted at the same place, but if I have to buy them elsewhere and get you to fit them, I'll do that. I need a "one boot to do it all" so that's why I'm leaning towards the Scarpa. I'm a pretty mellow skier, always ski on the snow (no hucking, etc) and tend to split my time between yo-yo powder hunting and ski mountaineering (Wapta/Columbia Icefields, etc)

I also suffer from cold feet, hence one of the reasons I chucked the OE liners from my Megarides and swapped in Intuitions.

Same. Although Mntlion would probably prefer it if I took my shitty feet elsewhere.

we sell the nordica hell and back, and a few versions of the technica cochise. all are VERY tourable, and skiable too.

Dunno, I would check the link and check with the store, 6 yrs ago it was a funky little store in Bowness with one person open til 8pm and you pretty much needed to make an appointment
