Allison Kozar C.ped

​Having grown up in Killington, VT, Allison Kozar was ingrained with a passion for skiing since utero. Her first job at the age of sixteen in 2001 was as a ski instructor. The inclusive love and strong sense of community within the alpine world drew Allison into pursuing work at various ski resorts; specifically within mountain operations and park crew. In 2012, Allison decided to venture into outdoor retail, where she started her boot fitting career at Skirack. The passion for boot fitting - plus nerding out on feet - continued to grow, and Allison thrived on every boot fitting conference she could attend; including Boot Docs, Masterfit, and Sidas. Her constant pursuit for professional improvement brought her to Inner Bootworks, where she was mentored under Benny Wax. At this juncture Allison decided - like her mentor - to become a Certified Pedorthist, in order to be the most skilled boot fitter in Stowe. After gaining her certification in 2022, and helping many skiers with their foot issues, Allison recently accepted an opportunity to work with Mountain Orthotics & Prosthetics as a C.Ped, aiding patients with various conditions, and continues to fit boots in Stowe on the weekends.
