    Know a good boot fitter in SF Bay Area?

    I am now a senior citizen intermediate skier living in the Bay Area and need to have a new pair of boots fitted. Looking for someone nearby and reasonably priced but competent. Any suggestions?

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Or go to Tahoe. Lots more options there.

    In any case, if you're ever really in this situation make sure you at least bargain in a couple of fluffers.

    Starthaus in Tahoe.
    Cal ski is hit or miss IMHO.

    I've always had good luck with them. The good bootfitter from Marmot(Paul) now works there as well, so the odds of getting
    somebody really good have gone up.

    If Paul is there I withdraw any reservations, he's really good.

    I have a buddy in SF who is a ski boot fitter and now works for a podiatrist - he makes custom footbeds for the most fucked up feet you've ever seen - he can do liner and shell work - PM me if you would like an intro
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    There is no such a thing as a good boot fitter in the Bay Area.. Tahoe might be your best bet. If you are ever in Salt Lake City, stop by Inkline and OC will hook you up. He is awesome

    +1 for Paul - he's the man. Helped me getting my too-small TLT5s to fit and then when my GF bought boots there he was awesome and super patient.

    Was your boot work expensive $$$? Called and they said they charge $60 per hour

    Just want to put my vote in for California Ski Company in Berkeley. I had previously used elite feet at squaw which I loved. Paul and Greg are very good at what they do and took the time to get it right. Had custom footbed and an intuition done. Paul is very knowledgable on AT gear- v cool guy. Great boot fitting shop, take it seriously there, great service.
