Are you waxed for winter?
Ever wished you'd taken your skis or board to the tuners before you got to the top of the mountain? Or found yourself penniless after servicing the whole family's skis?! At CairnGorm Mountain, we think we have the answer! Come and learn the techniques required to hand tune your skis or snowboards at home, inexpensively and before race day arrives!

Following a small number of successful sessions last year, the new courses have been extended to last for 4 hours with more in-depth coverage, training aids and course notes. There will be a maximum of 5 people per class and all equipment will be supplied. The minimum age is 13 years.

Classes cost £30 per person (£25 for Season Ticket Holders) and will include all equipment (please feel free to bring your own skis/board if you wish) and refreshments.

Courses will start on Wednesday 1st December 2004 and will run every Wednesday and Sunday from 9.30am to 1.30 pm throughout the season (excluding holiday periods).

If you wish to book any group classes, and these days do not suit, please contact us to discuss.

You can pay by Switch, credit card, cheque or cash (for cash/cheque bookings, a credit card number will require to be taken in case of late cancellation) Please give at least 24hours notice if you do wish to cancel. Places will be transferable.

Bookings should be made by telephoning 01479 861336 and remember, there are only 5 places per class, so book up early!
