Get your gear mountain-ready and learn to keep it that way. In this hands-on intro, you'll work on your own skis or snowboard while learning the basics of DIY waxing and tuning. You'll clean and inspect your base, sharpen and deburr your edges, and hot-wax and scrape for a smooth, fast finish. We'll also cover which wax to choose for different snow conditions, how to tell when your gear needs attention, and how often to tune it. You'll leave with freshly tuned gear and the confidence to do it yourself at home.
Bring your own Alpine skis or snowboard. $5 material fee.
Taught by Mari-Megan Moore. A longtime alpine ski coach for high school and development programs. She’s excited to share practical, approachable ski prep with skiers of every level.
