October Overview
Please get out all your child’s ski equipment!
It’s time to check to see how much your kids have grown and whether their equipment still fits. Please make sure all poles are the correct height, boots fit and skis are the right size and flex. Matt and Allison will be available for flex testing of skis until Monday 23rd October. If we get everything measured by this date it will make it easier for you to know what you are looking for at the Ski Swap on Sunday 29th!
