About Soul Ski & Bike
Soul Ski & Bike was born from the iconic Banff Ski Stop in 2009 and quickly established itself as the only shop in town to offer ski, snowboard, and bicycle sales, rentals, and full-service repairs under one roof. Located at 203 Bear Street, the shop carries current-year rental equipment across all ability levels and maintains a retail floor stocked with premium gear for riders who want to buy rather than rent.
The standout service is SoulFit, a dedicated boot-fitting department added in 2010 that has become one of the most respected in the Canadian Rockies. Using precision alignment tools, heat-moulding technology, and custom footbeds, the SoulFit team works by appointment to eliminate pressure points and dial in the perfect boot for every skier and snowboarder — turning what is often the weakest link in a rental setup into a genuine performance advantage on the hill.
In winter, the rental fleet includes fat bikes alongside skis and snowboards for guests who want to explore the snow-packed trails around Vermilion Lakes and the Bow River. Summer brings road bikes, mountain bikes, and a full repair workshop that handles everything from flat tyres to suspension rebuilds. The Bear Street location puts Soul within easy walking distance of Banff's best restaurants and nightlife, and the knowledgeable staff are happy to share trail recommendations and snow reports to help you make the most of every day in the park.
