Let me preface my review by stating that for a number of years I sold ski equipment for one of those suburban "Everything under one roof " sports store.
But when It came to BUYING MY OWN ski equipment .....Forget the employee discount ........I went to Viking Ski Shop on Fullerton Avenue.
Speaking as a ski enthusiast, I want ski boots that truly fit my performance and comfort needs. The vast inventory at Vikings caters to all sizes, all performance levels, and all price brackets.. I have always been impressed with the selection of different brands in both their ski and snowboards departments.
FWIW, I'm a bitch to properly fit in a ski boot. Age and arches have taken their toll. The Viking sales staff was conscience of my requisites while directing me to the right boot..
I needed technical help with canting, padding and shell stretching. Ignore the old adage.....Size does matter!! Many ski shops correct these problems by just selling you a larger boot or thicker socks. That's just plain wrong!
These custom services can't be found in the "boot in a box" store or Internet sites. Extra attention to comfort consumes time and labor from a knowledgeable staff and the necessary apparatus to facilitate fit adjustments. Vikings has both.
Having skied a thousand trails has allowed me to ski with folks who exhausted early because they were swimming in their Nordicas. They couldn't carve a turn on their new high tech skies because of extreme arch pain or frozen toes. My advise to them
"" If I you're going to invest big bucks into airfare, lodging and lift tickets (let alone vacation time) then buy a decent fitting boot and if it requires a custom footbed........so be it. ""
BTW, there's more than one brand of footbed so a pro shop can get you into the right one.
In my idle observations, the boot is the most vital component of ski comfort and performance. Thats why I take the time to journey past the other shops to by from the best. That's why myself, my friends , my ski club, and my family patronize Viking Ski shop.

If you are taking any big exam, whether it be the SATs in high school or the MCAT for med school, this place is really, really hepful.

Either way you do it, this place is always a great help and it usually really makes a difference on your test score. I would highly recommend checking them out for any big exam you plan to take.

This place had me locked on their payroll for nearly 7 years (and that's a career record for me!) I stayed because the management team is excellent, fair and honest. We also worked with some of the best clients. They are best known because they created and own the infamous Monster.com. (A few years and a lot of stock price changes later, and voila, Monster.com now owns TMP). I spent many happy years here and they treated me like gold. They have gone through many staffing changes and a lot of movement the past couple of years, but they are the best at what they do (recruitment advertising). And Monster.com is the top employment site, so you know they are doing something right. (www.tmp.com)(www.monster.com)

If it is Saturday night in Chicago, what you do is go out and pick up da Sunday Trib. Usually it weighs about 10 lbs and it currently costs $1.75.
You shlep it home and if you are me, you make a big batch of popcorn with tamari and parmesan cheese, turn on the Midnight Special on WFMT, and dive in.
You start with the ads and go through them cutting out the coupons you might use but end up throwing away because they have expired. You check out the fragrance swatches and admire the beauties in the Marshall Field ads.
Then you proceed to Parade and the the magazine and finish up with the funnies. You may look at the arts section if you have any energy left for reading before you turn on Saturday night live.

Another one of the many places to get insanely cheap electronics in the area. They carry mostly household electronics -- like blenders, rice cookers, and the like. But they have a good selection and the prices are of course great. Check out their stock of suitcases as well -- not the best quality stuff, but so low priced, that you can use them once and discard them!"
