"Relaxing" at home




Ever wonder what racers and coaches do when they're off the road.... Relax? Sleep in? Catch a show? Not quite. See all those skis? Each of them has to be worked-up when they arrive, then waxed as many times as possible before seeing competition. Our goal is eight wax cycles (wax, scrape, brush) before touching the snow, with three of those being hot boxes. Four of these sets now have more than 15 cycles, the other four sets are at eight. Finish a set... start over. It's not as bad as it sounds -- check out our cool wax room. We built it last year beside the garage at road level. Easy in, easy out. We added music and a small flat screen to help the time go by. Five days until we're back on the road.

  1. Shep/Scott, Ski tuneing a far cry from 1st street quarters at Ft. Greely. Watched the videos, I'm impressed. Hope you guys do well in Colorado, wish it was when we are going to be there. Joe & Carol
