Ski repairs and maintenance
Skis can become damaged by normal wear and tear, as well by skiing over rough surfaces like rocks, stones, gravel, sticks, branches or roots.
If you find your cross country skis are starting to run slow and need some TLC, we can help fix and structure your gear so you can get back to sliding through the snow.
Repair and maintenance services
Cleaning: We can help get your gear looking and running like new.
Waxing: If you have waxable cross country skis, consider getting your skis re-waxed. Waxing locks in moisture to help prevent oxidation and rust and improves performance.
Repair: Repairing and servicing your ski equipment is the best way to keep it in optimal condition.
Simply bring your skis in to Falls Creek Cross Country and our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you.
