Have the opportunity to tack on a ski trip on either end of business trip. Ski portion of the trip would have to be either the last week in Feb or third week in March and would either have to start or end in Cham, but also hoping to spend some time in the Dolomites. Would primarily be touring. So, if you had to roll the dice on ski trip with free airfare, which would you pick to maximize snow conditions and minimize crowds (been in Cham over Easter and am hoping to avoid the euro holiday/school break scene...)?

Stay west but avoid Cham... there are tons of places that are Not that famous Dolomites are not having the best of winters so far

This season, especially, you want to go high. I’m biased but love Verbier. As you probably know there are some great touring options in Cham and over in Courmayeur if you want some Italian flavor. Another option might be Andermatt/Engelberg or Zinal if you want somewhere quieter that still has some altitude. End Feb there are still some local holidays I think. March should be fine.

btw. euros. enjoy it while you can. the weekend and next week could be the last in a long while. another smal dump is scheduled for tue/wed and then: ALL models show the horror from day 9 onward (and they never agree when it's going to be good that far out only when the dry shit arrives....great. yeah yeah day 9, but this season ANY indicatio n of warm and dry came true. all the time..). and in late Feb the sun can really get to the base (which we dont have below 1600m anyway.).
It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

Had a good time in Engelberg yesterday. Really good conditions and high quality snow. Visibility was challenging, but manageable if you timed it right, till it went blue sky around 11am. Finished up with a Laub lap. Good times!
Seemed to be bonding well. Needed a strong rollover and very steep to get anything moving. A lot better than last week when everything started moving after the warm-up. Curious to see what this next warm-up does.

One hell of a day with a bunch of fast skiers well above the Loisachtal. Deep, cold, and everywhere! Expecting wind effect but instead found blower. Good stuff

So... I need some shell work done in Zurich. Where do I find a proper bootfitter near Zurich that is doing punches, stretches, etc. and familiar with all the tools and techniques? I understand that they don't do this much in Europe.
The liner work done by Ruedi-Bergsport was a great suggestion, but I need a little more custom work done, some punches and stretching (and it doesn't look like they do that type of service?). I should have just kept using my old liners, which were a little packed out but seemed to work, but figured I'd start with new liners out here. Should have gotten that sorted back in the US!

Not that close to Zürich but Michael Rieble at Arena Sport in Buochs can get you sorted. You'll need to make an appointment and it will not be inexpensive. Speaks a bit of English if that is a concern.
