Early Season Essentials at Porters

Cody and Tony putting in a great deal of effort to make sure our boots are PERFECT

Every season the typical skier loves getting new gear and also dreads it at the same time, well, that is if it is a new pair of ski boots. The fit can be so peculiar, and it's amazing how each year a new bump will miraculously give you aches and pains that had never existed before. I will say, it is a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I have a shop that I can head to that I know will be able to tackle every problem I may throw at them. What shop is it that performs these special miracles? Why Porters naturally! Of course this sounds like an advertisement since I am a sponsored athlete for Porters, but lest you forget I choose my sponsors as much as they choose me. Before Porters added me to their team I was already a regular at the shop, it being "the" place to deal with my gear and pick up any new needed goodies for the season. Anyway, I was really excited that the kick ass staff at the Tahoe City shop was happy to put in the few hours of effort it took to get my boots dialed. I am forever grateful... that is until next year!
