2021 Information

GEAR PICK-UP:

In order to streamline the process of picking up your gear, please take a few measurements for me:

A) Floor to wrist.  Your classical skis should come up to somewhere between your wrist and elbow; shorter for younger and beginning skiers.

B) Floor to "middle of shoulder". Classical poles should be somewhere between your armpit and top of shoulder.

C) Euro boot size.  Google a conversion chart if that helps.  I will have several pairs for your child to try on.

Text this info to me at 608-632-6272 and let me know when you want to pick it up.  $50 per set for the season.

WAXING:

I have gone away from grip tape in favor of using traditional hard waxes.  It requires a little work on your part, but offers better performance in most conditions.  I will send two waxes and a cork home with you.  I am applying 4 thin layers of Toko Red to all the skis before they go out.  This should be good for the first outing or two, but you will need to apply a little of the appropriate wax (temperatures shown on wax) before subsequent sessions.

CLASSIC/SKATE GEAR:

I am sending out classic gear for starters.  If your skier wants to switch over to skating later in the season, I can provide different skis (shorter) and poles (longer).  No charge.

CONDITIONS:

Skis are made for snow.  Do not ever ski across roads, sidewalks, etc.  Do not ski when there is not enough snow; if you see grass or dirt in your tracks; there is not enough snow and you will damage the skis.

I hope we get the forecasted 4-7" on Tuesday night.  That should be enough to start grooming at Timber Coulee.  I will update the blog when I groom.
