My Story
In the mid-1980s, Jules Mills pioneered the first specialty boot fitting shop in Europe. He then transitioned to managing boots for World Cup skiers for Lange, Rossignol, and Salomon. In the early 2000s, Jules leveraged his World Cup experience by becoming a founding member of Lange University and later established a World Cup-style boot fitting shop called The Boot Room in Chamonix. Today, Jules continues to work with World Cup athletes for Salomon, including Marco Odermatt and Marta Bassino. During the off-season, he shares his expertise through the Sidas Academy.
