Bring thin, clean socks
A single pair of thin synthetic or wool snowboard socks gives the best boot fit and prevents hot spots.
Allow 30–45 minutes for fitting
Quality boot fitting takes time — arrive early so staff can dial flex, stance, and binding settings correctly.
Keep your receipt for switch-outs
If your feet or board feel off, bring the receipt for same-day complimentary exchanges at slope-side locations.
Thin snowboard socks
Thin synthetic or merino socks improve boot fit and reduce pressure points.
