This post is based on two possible needs:
1) Just wrapped up the MEC club night and
there were a few question on how to cut skins.
2) The Vert 180 requires skins with better
than perfect glue, skin glue is not designed to be
taken on and off a ski 12 times in 3 hours. Most
skins will stopping sticking after 5-8 cycles.
3) Drinking beer alone in my garage is sooo
lonely....
Therefore, I want to plan a drop in night where
people can just show up at the Breakey's (across
from George Gell park on 16th ave) to either
reglue skins, trim new ones or drink beer (you can
do two of the three). This will be held just after
the Vert 180 prep so people can attend both.
As a recommendation, your new skins should be as
wide as the tail of the intended ski. Please bring
skins, trimmer and skiis.
For a reglue, please bring your skins and the wax
paper they came on if you have some. My typical
reglue is to melt and strip the first layer of old
glue and pine needle and add a very thin new layer
of glue on-top. Skins will need to hang for 12
hours.
Yes, it is a bit late, but if you need your skins
earlier, just give me a ring and I will try and
help.
