Madshus Skis are in!!

The 2010 Madshus skis have arrived. We also have brought out a decent selection of previous models. In some cases the only difference is the colour so it could be a good opportunity to get a deal if the camber is right. Give us a call or drop by. We will need your height and weight in order to select skis.

The shop is now taking in skis to get waxed. Bring them in early so you can be first out on the trails.
