Boots and Skis with Greg Coulter and Barry Galvin
In this episode I talk to my two most trusted gear gurus. Greg owns Boots and More (www.bootsandmore.ski) in Portland, OR. He is a master boot fitter and ski tech that will help you find the right boot and fit it to your foot. We talk about boot fitting, the importance of the boot, and the future of ski boots. He was Army so this episode is labeled explicit. Sorry, not sorry.
Barry is a former US Ski Team member and the PNW sales rep for the Volkl family of brands. We talk about the challenges of representing 65 different models of ski, what skis work great on Mt. Hood, what the top selling ski in the PNW is, some Volkl history, what’s in store for the future of skis, and what the little UVO devices on my Deacons do. He also gives us an inside look at the life of a rep during the crazy summer season on Mt. Hood.
Love to get your feedback, ideas, and any questions I can hunt down an expert to answer.
