  • Waxing Pro Tips Clinic, Fresh Air Experience (Waxing Series part 2)

    Wednesday, January 22, 2025  7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
    Fresh Air Experience, 1291 Wellington St. W, Ottawa, ON K1Y 0S4, Canada

    IMPORTANT CHANGE: the session will be held ONSITE at Fresh Air Experience
    Peter Hamilton (Madshus and Vauhti brands) will lead this session at FAE, 1291 Wellington St. W., where he will cover the latest in waxing techniques and products. Peter will demonstrate how to wax for glide, grip, and skins, and cover solid and liquid waxes. This is a perfect opportunity to stay up to date and get a pro to answer your questions. And with the current cold, abrasive conditions, your ski bases desperately need TLC on a regular basis.
