Spring Waxing Day!
Are you ready for Summer? Well, we know your skis aren’t!
We’re offering Summer Storage Waxing for your Nordic skis.
$10 per pair
If the bottom of your skis are looking a bit white, they’ll love a wax facial! This will protect them during summer heat and humidity while they are waiting for next season.
Bring your skis in on Saturday March 23rd , between 11 and 1 p.m. Bring your lunch too and enjoy the picnic tables outside while we do the waxing!
Alternatively, drop your skis off before Saturday, March 23rd and pick up between March 25th and 27th.
