On this episode, I sit down with Pat Medau, a boot fitter at Powderhouse Pro Snow in South Lake Tahoe and a ski instructor at Heavenly Mountain. Pat brings a unique dual perspective—fitting boots in the shop and coaching skiers on the hill—which gives him rare insight into how equipment and technique work together to shape performance.
We talk about: ✅ How boot fitting and ski instruction complement each other ✅ Lessons from fitting skiers of all levels in Tahoe ✅ Why alignment matters for both comfort and technical progression ✅ The most common boot mistakes he sees—and how to fix them ✅ What skiers should ask for when visiting a local bootfitter
If you’ve enjoyed this bootfitting series, Pat’s combined shop and on-snow expertise will help you see how the right fit translates directly into stronger skiing.
