Best Board/Ski Shop: Ski Cellar

Ski Cellar

Calgary's original freestyle ski and snowboard shop, Ski Cellar Snowboard won this category with their wide selection of high-quality products. Founded in 1946 by Al Compton, the Ski Cellar moved to its current location in 1956 on 17th Avenue S.W. and has been kicking it there ever since. Now with three popular locations across the city, this ski and board shop prides itself in their knowledgeable staff to get you hooked up with the right kind of gear so that you can ride those mountains until the sun goes down and truly live by their slogan – “your fun is our obsession.”

Like most small businesses in Calgary, Ski Cellar closed temporarily to ensure the safety of their staff and guests. The business happily reopened their doors to the public on May 27th, abiding by COVID Alberta Retail Guidelines. With social distancing measures in place, the shop has increased their cleaning processes so that you can browse their in-store products safely. They have also shortened business hours during this time, so make sure to check their website before you visit the store.

You can support Ski Cellar Snowboard during this time by shopping at one of their three locations. Ski Cellar staff ask that you commit to supporting local business now and moving forward, so that we can see a thriving Calgary economy once again.
