Backcountry Essentials is a locally owned outdoor gear shop in Bellingham, WA. We’re known for quality gear, honest advice, and great service. We’re looking for an experienced ski boot fitter to join our winter team.
You should have a solid understanding of foot anatomy, ski boot design, and how footbeds contribute to comfort and performance. In this role, you’ll assess foot structure, recommend the right boot models, and make adjustments—like liner molding, shell shaping, and custom footbeds—to get the best fit possible.
We’re looking for someone with boot fitting experience, solid product knowledge, and strong people skills. You’ll be part of a small, supportive team that values good communication and a shared love for the outdoors. If that seems like a good fit for you, please email a resume and application to info@Backcountryessentials.net
