The City Garage, Ellicottville NY

This place is seriously awesome! The staff is so cool and very nice, the owner even gave me a free part to my ski boot that usually costs $50! I definitely recommend stopping here if you are in Ellicottville, especially if you need any ski/boarding gear. 10/10. I would rate 6/5 stars if I could.

A small house converted into a store. A great selection of ski/snow gear. Staff super helpful just when you want them.

Parking on side streets.
A nice stop by while you're in the area.
Shop local.

I have an ankle that looks like a chicken wing leg bone. Tray has my boots snug and fun to use. Biggest smile - best skier. Worth stopping in for the vibes. Love it.

Excellent service and very knowledgeable. Definitely will shop here from now on. I would recommend this shop to everyone. I just bought new skis a few months ago here. I absolutely love them. I was told to bring them back if I don’t love them.

This is a must stop place for anyone needing assistance with ski equipment. My dad went in originally and spoke with Trey about my current ski boots and the problems I was having with them. He answered some questions for my dad and then encouraged us to both come back in later and he could help me pick out some new boots. We came back in and he recognized my dad by name and immediately started helping me get measured and gave me some information on why my old cheap boots weren’t doing a good job for me. It’s very obvious how much Trey enjoys what he does and likes helping people. He’s very knowledgeable and explained everything in an easy to understand way for me. He ensured my new boots fit perfectly and gave me helpful information on how to put them on easier than what I was doing before. I then went back to get my skis adjusted to my boots the next day and he immediately recognized me and did an excellent job getting them adjusted. The snow conditions weren’t that great but it was 100% easier with my new boots. Next time we need more equipment we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great service, friendly people, and a good selection of what you need. Enjoyed my experience and I'll be back. Probably have more theories for Karen lol. Karen was a good dude.

5/5, highly recommend. City Garage is *the* place to go in WNY/Southern Tier for alpine touring gear.

No matter the season, I take my gear seriously and weigh new kit options carefully. Most shops in the region do not have a reason to focus on AT gear and no amount of web research can replace hands-on time with the kit and conversation with folks who have used it. Charlie listened to my questions and offered firsthand experience and expert opinion to dial in my new boot and binding selection. City Garage also mounted the new bindings on skis purchased elsewhere.

The City Garage is a fun place to get equipment and clothing.
Sean and the CG crew have been around skiing all their lives and they’re in the business because they love the sport.

I needed some help understanding what sort of Telemark equipment I needed and I came and saw the owner and he was able to set me up with nice equipment and lots of know-how very good job

Got great swag for our Team Purple Doorknob with custom engraving at City Garage on a pretty quick timeline! Stellar service thanks CG

It was a unique pleasure the other day to personally meet and ski with Sean Lowes. What I saw was a kind & caring soul who has embedded his DNA in his business, his employees, and his love of skiing at Holiday Valley. His shop is a direct look into the soul of a skier who has a true passion for the sport that extends far beyond the profit motive. I would not hesitate for a second to do business with City Garage for all my skiing needs. It is a rare trait to find people who not only talk the talk, but walk the walk!

I normally do not submit reviews of businesses but feel I must for this one. My experience at City Garage was extremely satisfactory. I was looking to purchase a new pair of downhill skis. Upon entering the store I was immediately helped by Trey who discussed my needs, steered me to what I needed and set me up with a demo right away. The demo ski was just what I wanted. I then called the store to order the skis and Connor handled the process immediately and they were ready with bindings in a few hours. The skis are perfect and my experience with City Garage was superb. I highly recommend this business!

Shawn, Trey, Patra and all of the other staff are great at getting you set up with the gear you need. Best local ski shop in town!

Fantastic service. Helped me find the right fit for boots. Ask for "Too Tall. " He's knowledgeable and very kind.

Best ski shop around. Great vibes, great owners, great staff, and they know what they're doing! Would give 10 out of 10!
