Hands down, this oasis of skis, boots, and customized fitting services deserves five stars. A friend told me about Start Haus and I'd checked out their online presence before booking my appointment for boot fitting. First off, the store (new location) couldn't be any easier to get too, located right off of 80. Secondly, everyone in the shop is professional and accommodating. I was running an hour late for my fitting due to a pile up on 80; I called to say as much and the person on the phone was accommodating and let me know they'd do what they could when I got there. Mike did my fitting and I was bracing for the worst in terms of expenditure, because I'd heard things could get pricey. To my surprise (and this still has nothing to do with the absolute professionalism of the shop) my boots where actually good and only modification was suggested. After determining that my current inserts where also good, Mike evaluated my foot and boot and proceeded to make a few punches to allow my foot more room in the front (due to bunion). Wow!!! What a difference when I got on the snow later that day. The boot felt altogether different and I wasn't in wrenching pain. This place is the real deal -- excellent selection of skis & boots and exemplary service & knowledge. Thank you Start Haus -- I'll definitely be back. This is the epitome of a great local business!!!
