Ski/end of season servicing - £50

About Me

I decided on a change of career at the last minute in 2020 which led me to train as a ski tech. I spent a season in Verbier running a small business whilst training as a BASI instructor. I’ve now moved to Portsmouth permanently and have a home workshop offering ski servicing and climbing skin repair, waxing and re-gluing. I’m always willing to discuss any repair work you might need doing so please feel free to call or text and I’d be glad to help.
