Mike Stern will again be conducting more of his practical ski waxing clinics from the basement of his house.  In these clinics you will be taught how to clean and prepare your cross-country skis and also learn how to apply hot glide wax and grip wax to the relevant areas of your own skis.  These are hands-on sessions and he will show you how each task is done and then get you to practice with his help on your own skis.  At the end of the session you will end up with a set of fully waxed skis.

The clinics usually last up to three hours and are normally limited to a maximum of four people per session.  All waxes and tools are provided but you are welcome to bring your own.  The clinics are suitable for novice to intermediate skiers.  A comprehensive step-by-step ski waxing guide is included with the clinic.  The cost of each clinic is $15 per person of which a portion is donated to the Edmonton Nordic trail grooming fund.   All clinics start 7 PM.

Dates are:

1. Mon 30 Dec

2. Tue 07 Jan

3. Mon 13 Jan

4. Mon 20 Jan

5. Mon 27 Jan

6. Tue 04 Feb (last one before the Birkie)

Other clinics may be added according to demand.  Please note some dates may change depending on his other commitments.  If these dates are not suitable he can arrange to do other clinics at a suitably agreed time.  If interested in coming please contact Mike Stern at 780-433-4328 H or 780-984-2360 C or mikestern@telus.net  stating your preferred and alternative dates.

So book now and get your skis ready before the snow comes because once the snow settles many of these clinics can book up quickly.

He will also be selling his ski waxing frames.  The normal cost will be $60 but he will be discounting them at $50 to people who attend any of his waxing clinics
