Thats good news Jastem :thumbup: Just back from S&R 4 pairs of skis now waxed free of charge. Nice saving but purchased a Giro Ember helmet and a pair of nice Gor-tex Hestra gloves for the O/H. Saved £32 but spent £150 ouch :shock:
I just love the gravitational pull

Jastem, I think its safe to get your skis prepared and packed with your poles. Check your boots etc. If you don't have your own kit and rent you could start to pack an item a day :D

Ian, yes it makes sense to DIY, you get the satisfaction of doing a good job and your wallet remains bulging. :wink: Perhaps you could run a ski maintainace course for us. Now where's that Iron :D

No skis/poles - just my own boots. Does lookingly longingly at them count as preparation? (I've been doing that since August!)

Yes it counts, place them near the TV and you can look at them to your hearts content :D A spray of Mr Muscle window cleaner brings the natural shine back :wink:
