If the hot summer days (or last winter’s racecourses) have left your skis parched for a new stonegrind, the time to act is now!
MNC will be offering to send a grouped batch of skis to Zach Caldwell in September…if you would like to have your skis included in the order please fill out this Google Doc (click for link) and communicate with Adam (adamRterko@gmail.com) to coordinate a meeting for payment and ski transfer. Stonegrinding cost will be between $65 and $75, depending on the total number of MNC orders. The more skis, the better the deal!
This document is related directly to the information used on the Caldwell Sport work order form. When all MNC orders have been included, I (Adam) will create a single CS work order form so submit with a one-time payment. For more information on grind options, please see some more information on the Caldwell Sport website.
Tentatively we would like to have the MNC batch ready to grind by Monday, September 19st when Adam will ship or drive them to Putney. Please have your skis ready by having them scraped, brushed and attached base-to-base (no ski ties) via tape or Saran wrap. The whole process is made even easier if your skis have a piece of tape on them indicating “MNC” as well as the desired grind, although they will be double-checked prior to delivery.
On Hotboxing
Gary Solow and Sharon Henry have inherited a very high-quality heatbox made by Don Harmeyer based on instructions from Zach Caldwell. While Caldwell Sport offers a heatboxing option, it is also possible to coordinate a date to use the MNC hotbox for a reduced price. Stay tuned for some dates on that in the fall!
