About

Dahu opened its first store anywhere in Lionshead in the fall of 2024, at 531 East Lionshead Circle, to let skiers try a boot that comes apart. The Swiss-engineered, Italian-made design pairs a hard outer shell with a warm, weatherproof inner boot that you can pull out and walk in.

It suits skiers whose feet hurt in conventional boots and anyone who dislikes clumping through the village in ski boots at the end of the day. Because the fit differs from a conventional boot, trying a pair in the store makes more sense than ordering online.

How the boot works

The three-piece Cabrio shell does the skiing. Inside it, the Cambium inner boot doubles as a liner and as insulated winter footwear, slipping in and out through the Corsair entry, while a patented Power Beam transmits backward pressure to the skis.

Three models

The Écorce 01X is the lightest and suits aggressive skiing at any level; the 01 is for strong to expert skiers with a slightly narrower fit; and the 01C is built for intermediate to strong skiers who put comfort first, with a wider feel. The liners are heat-moldable, waterproof, insulated with Primaloft and, on the 01 and 01X, fitted with a Recco reflector.

Before you visit

The store keeps split hours, closed in the middle of the day, so check the FAQ before walking over. Dahu also has a second Vail store at 286 Bridge Street in Vail Village, and stocks gloves, goggles and socks from partner brands, including Capranea ski apparel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Dahu store in Lionshead?
At 531 East Lionshead Circle in Lionshead Village, Vail, CO 81657. Phone (970) 730-6294. This was DAHU's first-ever store, opened fall 2024.
What are the store hours?
The store is seasonal. The official DAHU store page listed every DAHU store as "Closed for off-season" when checked in late October 2026, and publishes no winter clock hours, so call (970) 730-6294 before a special trip.
Are Dahu ski boots good?
They are a premium Swiss-engineered, Italian-made boot built around comfort without giving up performance: a rigid Cabrio shell for power transfer with a warm, wearable inner boot, heat-moldable liners and an easy Corsair entry.
How much do Dahu ski boots cost?
On DAHU's official shop: the current 02AM is $1,100 and the 02X is $1,200; the Écorce line is $795 (01C) to $995 (01X), with demo pairs listed online from $397.50. In-store prices can vary; the store is a premium, single-brand boutique.
Who makes Dahu ski boots?
DAHU, a Swiss brand: the boots are Swiss-engineered and made in Italy.
What makes a Dahu boot different from a normal ski boot?
The boot comes apart: a three-piece Cabrio shell does the skiing, and inside it the Cambium boot, insulated with 200g Primaloft, waterproof and heat-moldable, slips out through the Corsair entry and works as standalone winter footwear, so you walk to après in the inner boot instead of clumping in shells. A patented Power Beam transmits backward pressure to the skis.
Which Dahu models are sold now?
The current collection is the 02X (narrow, low-volume last) and 02AM (mid-volume, all-mountain), both fully heat-moldable with a removable tongue for flex adjustment. The Écorce 01X (lightest, aggressive), 01 (strong to expert, narrower) and 01C (intermediate to strong, comfort-first, wider) remain in the range. Men's and women's versions.
Can I try or demo Dahu boots at the Lionshead store?
Yes. This is DAHU's Ski Boot Test Center store, and the brand invites skiers to "demo your pair of Dahu's today" in store. Because the fit differs from a conventional boot, an in-person try-on is the brand's own recommended route; it also sells online.
Is there a Dahu store in Vail Village too?
Yes, the Vail Village flagship at 286 Bridge Street, Vail, CO 81657, phone (970) 980-1694. The Lionshead store at 531 E Lionshead Circle is the original, first-ever DAHU store and test center.
Dahu vs Apex, how is Dahu different?
Both brands put a soft inner boot inside a hard frame, but DAHU's own design is a Swiss-engineered three-piece Cabrio shell with its Cambium inner boot, Corsair entry and patented Power Beam. DAHU publishes no Apex comparison, so try both on if you are cross-shopping; the Lionshead test-center store exists for exactly that in-person comparison of the DAHU fit.
