The snow season is kicking into high gear and we're hoping that you've been able to make some turns in the local backcountry terrain. Between a few rain events and the freeze/thaw cycles, the snow has held surprisingly well at our zones and yesterday's storm
will only help add some extra cushion in the base layer.
To keep ourselves ready to go, we're excited to announce a ski tuning workshop--available for current WMBA/CTA members who've always wanted to know how to edge and wax their own skis/board.
Come out to
Dirt Church Brewing in Charlemont on Sunday Feb 8th and bring your skis and/or boards for an evening of ski tuning skills, ski films, pizza and beer.
PSIA Examiner, tele turner, and ski tuning wizard, Hal Westwood, will lead the workshop, providing you with first hand experience on how to tune your own damn skis!
Registration Required: Once registered, we'll send a list of recommended tools/items to bring if you've got 'em.
Cost: $20/pp
Where: Dirt Church Brewing, Charlemont MA.
When: Sunday Feb 8th, 4pm
Registration required: Max 10 participants; first registered, first served. Don't wait!
To register: Reply for confirmation to
wmba.c...@gmail.com
and bring $20 cash payable at the event.
Open only to WMBA/CTA members, so please confirm that your membership is active!
