🎿 CarveCast Episode 25 — Boot Fitting With Tim In Zermatt
Â
Ski performance starts at the foot. In this episode I sit down inside Julen Sport in Zermatt with Tim, widely considered the best boot fitter in the valley. We dive deep into comfort, liner choice, foot scanning and why your ski boot fit might be holding you back more than you think.
Â
We recorded this right in the shop surrounded by boots, shells, liners and a 3D printer building insoles behind us. This is a real mountain floor conversation filled with practical info for every skier from first time boot buyers to high level riders who want precision and support dialled perfectly.
Â
We look at ZipFit liners, ramp angle, heel hold, 3D pressure scanning and why so many skiers unknowingly ski in boots that are too big. Tim explains how he fits beginners, advanced skiers and racers and why there is no single perfect boot, only the correct fit for the person wearing it.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
