Our Skier Alignment Center offers complete equipment and alignment solutions. Products and services include:

Footbeds (non-gaited)		Non-gaited footbeds are for non-walking applications, including alpine skiing, snowboarding, nordic skating, ice skating, and road cycling. The footbeds do not flex at the forefoot, and so must be used in stiff-soled footwear.
Footbeds (gaited)		Gaited footbeds are for walking or running applications, including telemark skiing, nordic classic, hiking, running, and walking.
Alignment strip installation	A traditional method of performing canting, alignment strips are tapered shims of plastic that are installed between the ski and binding. This is a reversible, accurate method of canting. It does give you a dedicated right and left ski, and is best for skiers with one pair of skis. Some newer ski/binding systems (such as the Marker/Volkl Motion and Salomon Pilot systems) cannot be canted with these strips.
Boot sole planing	Boot sole planing enables you to have all of your alignment needs addressed in your boots. This is the best solution if you have multiple pairs of skis, don't own skis, or want to have correct alignment for demoing skis. You can still fine-tune your alignment once your boots are planed, but it is far more difficult to reverse completely than alignment strips.
Boot sole plates				On all boots that are planed, we must replace the removed material thickness and make the toe and heel lugs parallel with the boot sole in order to return your boot to the DIN specified dimensions. On most boots, we accomplish this by adding sole plates and then machining the toe and heel lugs. The plates are durable, replaceable, and come in different thicknesses. Some boots have hollow toe and heel lugs (for weight reduction), and then cannot be machined. In these cases, we build back to the original thickness with epoxy on top of the lugs.
Boot fitting	Whether too tight, too loose, or just uncomfortable in one or more spots, we can make your boots fit and work better. We can stretch, grind, and pad as required.
Equipment Sales	We have a complete ski shop with Head skis, Tyrolia bindings, boots by Dalbello, Nordica, and Head, and Scott poles and goggles. We also have the accessories you need: mittens and gloves, Hotronics boot heaters, Danzat boot muffs, Cat Tracks sole protectors, boot dryers, ski and boot bags.
