Christmas Shopping in Telluride- Custom Skis

If you're going to spend Christmas with us here in Telluride, then you're going to want great skis. And you need look no further than Wagner Custom Skis, which is located just a gondola ride over from Telluride in lovely Mountain Village. You don't even have to worry about where to start because our dedicated concierge team is happy to set you up with a full factory tour and the very unique custom skier DNA profile session so that your loved ones will have the most scientifically tailor-made skis available on the planet.

There's really nothing like skiing with a pair of skis that is uniquely fitted to your body. The specialized DNA session helps the designer build your skis so that you'll be completely comfortable with improved balance and better control during your skiing adventure. Every last detail is personalized for skis that fit perfectly and allow you to take on the slopes that you may not have been comfortable with before when using off-the-rack or rental skis.

Well-fitting ski or snowboard boots are every bit as important as the product that they stand on, and our local Boot Doctors are nothing less than experts when it comes to the latest in boot technology. We'll be happy to schedule a personalized boot fitting for everyone on your gift list, and they're sure to enjoy the total comfort that their new boots give them on the slopes and beyond.

You may expect one of the nationally renowned master boot-fitters at the Boot Doctor to take all of the time necessary to learn about you and your skiing style in order to provide you with the best fit, and you'll be introduced to the custom foot-bed that works to support your feet in a way that naturally improves your ski experience. When all is done, you'll be provided with a pair of boots that are made to mold perfectly to your foot shape like no other boot that you've ever worn.
