Race Wax Services

We will accept skis up until 10 AM the day before your event for our premium wax service. Skis will be available for pickup after 3 PM each day. You may opt-in to receive a text when they are finished. Just to remind you, we do not receive UPS or FedEx deliveries on Saturday and Sunday if shipping. If skis are dropped off after 10 AM prior to your race day, we will do our best to provide the best wax service possible but can not guarantee it will be the same as our premium race wax service.
