Gear Favourites: Why Our Guides Love Intuition Liners
When it comes to ski gear, there’s an overwhelming variety of options, from skis and bindings to goggles and gloves. But one piece of gear that often flies under the radar—yet is arguably the most important—is your boot liner. Enter Intuition Liners, a top choice for skiers of all levels looking to maximize comfort, warmth, and performance.
There’s nothing worse than sore and cold feet on a big day in the backcountry (or at the resort). Intuition liners are one of the top liner choices among professional skiers and guides, due to their custom fit, warmth retention and water resistance. Here’s why our guides will choose Intuition Liners over a factory liner every time:
-
- Custom fit
It’s no secret that ski boots have a reputation for being uncomfortable. That doesn’t always have to be the case. Intuition Liners use their proprietary foam and a heat-molding process to form your liners to the unique contours of your feet. Say goodbye to awkward foot cramps and uncomfortable pressure points. - Lightweight Design
Unlike traditional liners, Intuition Liners are incredibly lightweight without sacrificing warmth or durability. For backcountry and heli skiers, we try to minimize equipment weight where we can, and a lighter liner helps to save some grammage. - Unmatched Warmth
Cold feet can cut a powder day short, but Intuition Liners have exceptional insulation. Nearly every review raves about how warm their liners are. Their specialty foam traps heat while remaining water resistant, keeping your feet dry and happy! - Versatility
Intuition Liners aren’t exclusively for downhill skiing. They’ve got liners for snowboarding, ice climbing and water skiing. Their range of options allows you to focus on having fun, no matter what the activity. - Durability
A major advantage that Intuition Liners have over a factory liner is their durability. Factory liners tend to pack out faster, requiring more frequent replacements. Intuition Liners’ proprietary foam and materials make for a smart long-term investment for both your feet and your wallet.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Intuition Liners
Heat-Molding: While some people opt to heat-mold their liners at home, visiting a professional boot fitter helps you get the perfect fit. Critical Parts is a great choice for getting your boots fitted in Revelstoke.
Break-In Period: Even after heat-molding, give your liners a few days on the mountain to fully break in. The foam will continue to adjust to your foot’s shape so you can have longer days out on the slopes.
Maintenance: After skiing, remove the liners from your boots to air them out. This prevents moisture build-up and extends their lifespan. Plus, who likes stinky ski boots?!
In the world of ski gear, the smallest upgrades can lead to the biggest payoffs. Whether you’re chasing fresh lines in our tenure or hitting the groomers at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Intuition Liners ensure your feet are taken care of so you can focus on what you’re there for: getting those turns.
