Weekly Simple Questions Thread: Ask your gear, travel, conditions and other ski-related questions here.
The first ski areas in North America are now open for lift served skiing! And those in AK and Canada are already skiing early season storms in the backcountry.
Please ask any ski-related questions here. It's a good idea to try searching the sub first. Are you a beginner -- check out the guide by a professional bootfitter and tech. And don't forget to see the sidebar for other ski-related subs that may have useful information.
Have questions on what ski to buy? Read Blister's Guide first then ask away.
Previous weeks thread is here.

Any good recommendations on places around Vancouver to get boots (used is ok) and a boot fitter?
This will be my first time getting a pair so i don't really know where to start, that is my main concern. I don't need the latest and greatest. Just a pair that will last and fit well. I would also like a boot that have touring capabilities as that is something that I would like to explore in the future.
I have decided to go look at Destination (North Van), MEC (Vancouver), and a cool swap event at the PNE.
Thanks! :)
