The 100+ Point Boot Check

A good boot setup does not just happen, it requires a detailed examination. Boot Fixation does the 100+ BOOT CHECK, consisting of 118 point checks, 66 alignment checks, and 52 fitting checks.

Few skiers require modification to even half of the points on this list. But if you have a problem, we will find it and resolve it.
