The Corsa is for racers, coaches and expert carvers skiing narrow, low-volume race or plug boots who want the most precise fit and power transfer possible. If your stock race liner has packed out, or you want performance without the pain that often comes with a tight race shell, this is the liner to look at. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right boot and fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to talk with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

As a certified ZipFit dealer, our team offers in-store liner fitting to match the right ZipFit volume to your shell and foot, and dial it in for the terrain you ski most at Big White and Silver Star. Narrow race shells often need shell work to fit well, so we also offer custom footbeds, shell punching, and buckle replacement in-store, so your new liners and boots work together as one system. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive).

Q.What is a plug boot, and do I need a race liner for one?
A plug boot is a race-specific ski boot built on a very narrow, low-volume last, usually in the low 90mm range, and designed to be customized by a bootfitter. Stock liners in these boots are often thin and pack out quickly, and higher-volume aftermarket liners simply won't fit inside them. The Corsa is trimmed down specifically for 91–93mm race shells, so it gives you the support and comfort of a premium liner without overfilling the boot.

Q.Why choose a leather ski boot liner?
Leather gives the most precise, "true to form" fit. Over time, your ankles and shin imprint into the leather, which locks your lower leg in place and improves heel hold and power transfer. It's also very durable and wicks moisture well. The trade-off is convenience: leather-lined ZipFits need to be laced on your foot and then stepped into the shell each time. Skiers who prioritize precision usually find that worth it.

Q.Can I move ZipFit liners into a new pair of boots?
Usually, yes. Because the cork doesn't pack out and can be adjusted, many skiers move the same ZipFits through two or three sets of shells. The new shell needs to be a similar size and volume, so a Corsa works best when you're moving from one narrow race shell to another. If you change last widths or sizes, bring both shells into the shop so we can check whether the liner still fits or needs cork added.
