| CUSTOM FITTING is the process of taking ski equipment that is made for the statistically “average” person and personalizing it to fit a particular skier. It is arguably the most important, though least understood, requisite for skiing excellence and comfort. Regardless of which end of the ability spectrum you’re on Custom Fitting will improve your skiing and comfort. If you’re a new skier you’ll gain confidence and improve your technique the first time you get on snow. If you’re a racer you will be faster, quicker and more stable at high speeds.
Custom fitting is the very first thing you should consider when buying new equipment. However, Custom Fitting has nothing to do with buying new gear. We guarantee that if you Custom Fit your old gear instead of buying new gear, you’ll be a much better skier than if you just buy new gear and don’t have it Custom Fit.
Custom fitting has four components; Custom Insoles and boot modifications, alignment, boot balancing and ski tuning. Our custom fitting service is performed by our most senior experienced technicians who understand the technical issues in getting your equipment tuned to match your body and skiing ability. If you want to ski better, ski faster or ski in comfort, custom fitting is for you.
THE CUSTOM FITTING PROCESS
Plan on two hours for fitting, molding and measurement. You will need an appointment for this phase, appointment times are available 7 days a week (10-6 M-F, 9-4 Sat, 12-3 Sun). In most cases you will need to leave your equipment with us so our shop technicians can complete the necessary work to your skis. Unless you are in a time crunch (which we can usually accommodate) you will need to leave your skis with us for 3 days. If you live out of town we can make arrangements to complete the entire process within 4 hours or ship your equipment back to you upon completion.
COST
The fee for Custom Fitting is based on what work is required to get you perfectly fit. Everyone is different so it is not possible to have a flat fee for Custom Fitting. Accordingly the services are priced individually. Most skiers do not require all options and can expect an average cost of about $200.

My legs and feet got so sore I spent more time in the chalet than on the slopes. Hi Tempo’s Custom Fitting service has made me a better skier and more importantly made skiing a comfortable activity. I spend more time with my family on the slopes and less time reading in the chalet.
