Order the replacement and we will charge you for it but ship it right away, then we will refund you when the return is received.

Follow the "how do I return" instructions to return the item in question.

7. I believe I have a warranty issue, what do I do?

Merchandise appearing to be defective may be returned within the warranty period for inspection. Please contact us before returning an item that you believe to be defective, as in some cases it will be to your advantage to send it directly to the manufacturer. Most manufacturers warranty's are for one year against defects in materials and workmanship. If you would like warranty information on a specific product please contact us.

8. What are your normal and holiday hours?

During the Spring and Summer we don't keep regular retail store hours. Open by chance or appointment.

Regular store hours resume in November and will be posted at that time.

9. How does Pick-up In Store Work?

If you place an online order and choose Pick-up In Store we will get your order ready and email you when it's available for pick-up.

Come to our retail store in Andover, Maine and inform the salesperson that you're here to pick up an order.

We'll get you out the door as quick as possible.

After hours pick-up is also available please inquire.

10. Why should I wax no-wax skis?

No-wax skis don't need to be waxed for grip, the scales or skins provide grip. But, they do work better and the base will last longer if they are glide waxed.

You may use either an easy to apply paste or liquid wax such as Swix F4 or Maxiglide, this is the easiest method.

Or you can use iron on glide waxes for a higher performance and longer lasting option.

11. Should I choose one of your waxing services?

You are best served by either choosing to have us wax your new skis or doing it yourself. If you choose not to wax them at all the result will be poorer performing skis and, in the long run, faster wearing out of the base.

12. Can I order off-line, not through the website?

Yes. There are several ways to place an order without using our online checkout.

A phone order is one way, call 207-392-4582.

Or you can communicate your order via email and we can send an order acknowledgement and email a payment link.

We're happy to accommodate whichever method you choose.
