About Olympic Bootworks
We’ve been fitting ski boots and building great riding experiences since 1985.

Buck Brown
Founder & Master Boot Fitter
Rooted in Expertise
Olympic Bootworks was founded by Buck Brown, whose relentless pursuit of the perfect fit has spanned decades. Frustrated by the limitations of off-the-shelf solutions, Buck dedicated himself to understanding the intricate relationship between foot mechanics, alignment, and athletic output.
This journey led to the development of the revolutionary Heel-loc Technology, a proprietary system refined over twenty years that forms the cornerstone of our fitting process.
From our flagship store in Olympic Valley, we've become the trusted resource for elite athletes and discerning enthusiasts alike. Recognizing the need for our specialized services further south, we proudly opened our second location on Ski Run Blvd in South Lake Tahoe.
