Gear up for the slopes with three of Edmonton’s top ski shops

Skier’s Sport Shop


 

Skier’s Sport Shop has been a cornerstone for Edmonton’s ski enthusiasts for decades. Founded in 1963 by George and Doreen McAvoy, Skier’s Sport Shop was one of the first ski shops in Edmonton. The walls are lined with carefully selected gear, from high-performance skis to stylish apparel, but it’s the staff who make the difference—they live and breathe the sport. No matter if you’re new to skiing or a seasoned pro, their personalized service guarantees you’ll be equipped for the perfect run.

Boardom


 

Boardom isn’t your average gear shop—it’s more like a clubhouse for people who live for the thrill of pavement and snow. Open since 1994, Boardom is run by a tight-knit crew of snowboarding and skateboarding enthusiasts who treat every visitor like family. The shop is  stacked with high-quality gear including snowboards, skateboards, and all the accessories you could dream of. Whether you’re gearing up for a new season or looking to refine your setup, the team at Boardom knows their stuff and loves to share it.

Fritz Ski Haus


 

Fritz Ski Haus is a local hidden gem that is filled to the brim with every essential a skier could need. Since 1974, this specialty shop has been all about passion, precision, and personalized service. Founded by Fritz, a former ski racer, the shop is known for its large ski boot selection. They also provide expert boot-fitting services, offering custom insoles and boot stretching to ensure a comfortable ride. With their demo program, you can hit the slopes before committing, and their Wintersteiger-equipped service centre will keep all of your gear slope-ready.
