Are there many if any "Ski Only" shops? I know there are plenty of "Board shops" that sell just snowboard and skate stuff, but is there the free skiing version of these? Shops that are Ski/Freeski oriented without focusing on or even selling snowboard equipment?

If so, what are there names? and where are they located?

Theres a shop in ellicotville NY that only sells ski stuff called the city garage. Best shop around here in my opinion.



The ski monster in boston? Not sure if they're ski only but theyre a shop devoted to freeskiing.

There's a family owned ski only shop in Spokane, Washington called the Sports Creel. They opened in 1954, sell legit brands, and have quality service.

There are loads yeah. Of the 4 shops I have worked at only one had a snow board department. but why does it matter? They will usually always be differnt departments and staff are not shared so it's not like you will be fitter by a snowboarder if you go to a shop which sell both.

Rogue freeride shop in Newry Maine

I'm pretty sure they are owned by Pinnacle Snowboard shop which is next door so I'm not sure it counts but it seemed pretty nice, Lots of Icelantics and Factions.

City garage is arguably one of the best ski shops on the east coast
