Returned  from a 12-day snowboarding trip to Chamonix. Despite getting a flu on the 2nd day, must say the trip was great. Luckily I managed to shake off the illness in three days and enjoy a couple of days of powder and over a week of sunshine.

That wasn't the reason to write this post, though. The reason was, I got a scare halfway through the vacation when my Boa-equipped Atomic Waiver boot's (2006 model) coiler came loose. I knew these could be repaired, having visited the former website and read about it, but I had no tools to do so. The first few rental shops visited at random appeared to be completely clueless about the mechanism and offered as help "send it to the manufacturer", which wasn't much of a help at that point. Fortunately, I found Zero-G, where the guys took a 2-second look at the boot, lead me to the repair room, where I saw a box full of coilers and other parts for Boa boots.. None of that was even necessary! Literally in an eyeblink the original coiler was fastened back in place, and the guy handed me what turned out to be a 1-mm hex tool used to repair the mechanism. Godsend! Anyway, if you're ever in need of expert help with snowboarding equipment in Chamonix, remember this address to Zero-G.
