Putnam's, Fire on the Mountain and Proctor's. Ended up picking up some new boots at Proctor's and Mark there was great --spent about two hours with me dialing in the right boot for my strange feet and of course offered free fit adjustments throughout the season. Also ended up dropping off a pair of skis for a tune at Fire on the Mountain as they are small, seemed to know what's up and are located conveniently on my way to the mountains.

I liked Putnam's as well. They had the best selection of skis and other gear of the three I visited. Not as wide a boot selection as Proctor's.

Mark is a good guy. He used to work at the Ski Haus for years when it was in Wilmington on rte 129. I have not seen him in years. Is his Bernese Mtn Dog. still with him in the shop?

I saw no dog. Had I known there was the possibility of one at the time I would have been extremely disappointed with the dogless experience, haha.
