Wax Clinics
January 11 and 18 at 7:00 p.m.
Grip Waxing - How to Select Wax, Apply, and Remove
Glide Waxing - How to prep base, apply, and scrape
These are hands-on clinics so bring your skis, no matter how old or abused. We will show you how to clean off the old wax, how to select grip wax for the day and how to apply it.
This clinic is for skiers who are new to cross country, or would like to put an end to frustrating waxing experiences. The clinics will start at 7:00 p.m. in the Wax Room at Mt Mac. Fee is $10 per person. Both clinics will cover grip and glide wax. The January 11 clinic will focus on grip waxing and the January 18 clinic will focus on glide waxing. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate included.
For more information call The Ski Base at 668-4477. Register up to December 18.
