    Zipfit in Banff

    Hi, going through Banff in early March and have a down day and interested in getting zipfit liners. I feel like I remember a mag being a bootfitter in Banff area, but if there are any recommendations I would like to get an appointment ASAP. Thanks!

    @mntlion is a bootfitter in banff/canmore but I'm not aware if his shop sells zipfit.

    The only clagary area zipfit dealer I know of is ski west in Kensington in Calgary. Maybe you can hit them up on the way to banff.

    Edit: thanks GoldenBC for additional info.

    Always worth the trip. Only two hours.

    Mtnlion does Pulse foam injected liners.

    I do Zipfit in Fernie. Anybody mentioned here can help just call ahead as Canadian supply has dried up twice (liners and cork)

    If I come by the shop who should I ask for as your best boot guy?

    I've had fittings and footbeds done at Pulse in Banff
    Highly recommended
    First time my boots fit perfectly with no pain anywhere and stay that way all day

    I thought about it long and hard since i've heard great things about pulse labs in banff. I've actually happily skied two surefoot foam liners for 250 days. I honestly didn't have any overt complaints with foam liners other than wanting to try something different. My feet get cold somewhat easily and i am still resistant to bringing electronics into my daily ski life and the thought of a liner that could potentially last many hundreds of days and be skied in to fit or touched up over time piqued my interest in zipfit

    worth stopping by to talk and see. Most folks dont go away from foam once they have it...

    Priceless.

    What I really noticed was that in my Intuitions (which fit great BTW) I tended to clench my toes on steeper terrain leading to my calf's screaming at me. When I went to Zips the fit was so much better the clenching went right away.

    As I tell people on the chair all the time, Ski Boots do not need to hurt to perform well.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    How do you make sure people's feet don't stink before allowing them to demo? [emoji1787]
