Why Proper Boot Fitting Matters

Your ski boots are the most important piece of gear you’ll ever buy. A great ski day starts with boots that fit you perfectly, giving you comfort, control, and confidence on the mountain. Poorly fitted boots can cause pain, limit performance, and cut your day short. That’s why our team at Alpine Options takes boot fitting so seriously.

 

How It Works

We require appointments for all new boot fittings, modifications, and custom footbeds to ensure each skier gets the time and attention they deserve. Book your appointment today!

Meet Our Boot Fitters

At Alpine Options, our boot fitters are highly trained experts who live and breathe skiing. Each fitter brings years of experience, technical knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping skiers find their perfect fit.

Devin Frye-O'Neill: I started in the ski industry 12 years ago in San Francisco. I fit for 6 seasons at Sports Basement, where I focused more on the casual skier, and then 5 seasons at Inner Bootworks where I worked with racing and freeski schools and teams. I have been to the top level of training programs from Masterfit, Sidas, and Boot Doc on several occasions. On days off you can find me snow camping while looking for hidden powder stashes, waiting in line for the tram at Jay Peak, or playing music with friends.

Steve Kreindler: If you haven’t met Steve during his 17 years of dedication to Alpine Options, you’re about to! Steve is our resident house-elf, tackling projects from fitting boots to your feet, to managing the hard goods, to helping with technological issues, and everything in between; he is the oil that keeps our machine running smoothly. Steve got his start in the ski industry after 17 years in Computer Technology and a few years of roaming around Vermont. He comes with 23 years of boot fitting experience and has all levels of boot fitting training through Boot Doc, MasterFit, and other vendors. While Steve may appear to live in the shop, he does venture out to enjoy time with his wife, Laura. Together they enjoy sking at Mad River Glen, kayaking through quiet waters, exploring the beautiful state they live in, and spending time with their family. 

Peter Englert: Peter joined Alpine Options boot fitting staff some 12+ years ago having gotten his start back in the early 80’s. As a side hustle, Peter covers the East Coast as a tech & sales representative for BootDoc & Hotronic. He is also a Certified Pedorthist specializing in ski orthotics. In the off season Peter hits the road and loves to travel.

Derek Raynes: Say hello to our newest boot fitter (and our new owner), Derek! This is Derek’s first year as a boot fitter, and while he may not hold the same experience as some of our other fitters, he’s eager and ready to learn from the most advanced and strongest team in the Northeast! Derek is training alongside veteran fitter, Pete, at his Boot Doc education program to refresh and further his skills. When Derek isn’t in the shop, diving into the ins-and-outs of the ski industry, or introducing himself to our customers, you can find him at the closest Phish concert!
