FACILITIES Our workshop
facility contains custom
finished work areas with
ski and snowboard vices.
We have a floating
workshop desk to allow
several candidates to
work safely, and to
watch demonstrations in
comfort without straining
to see what is going on.
All the core tools from
irons to P-tex guns are
available, along with a
variety of waxes to
demonstrate. The facility
has a ski and snowboard
base grinding machine,
combined with a side edge
tool for setting of side
edge angles. And we have
one of the few fully
working and calibrated
binding test machines in
the UK. Environment
We want you to be
comfortable, and to be
honest we want to be
comfortable too! So we
have custom built the
facility from a shell,
even selecting paints
that reduce eye strain
(Despite the bright green
colour!). We have a built
in air extraction
facility that is normally
found in buildings with 7
rooms, to ensure that
when working with
fluorocarbon waxes that
any fumes are extracted
as quickly as possible.
Room temperature is
controlled by a modern
air conditioning system
allowing us to drop the
temperature to as low as
15 degrees or as high as
38 degrees. We also had
the chairs which we
carefully selected fitted
with comfortable bases
with decent foam, to
reduce numb-bum to a
minimum. The floor has
been fitted with 7mm
stress reducing rubber
workshop matting, which
is durable and reduces
foot impact, and areas
of this have been further
enhanced with 10mm
rubberised protection
mats. There is a
dedicated boot fitting
bench with spaces for 2-5
boot fittings at one
time, which are high up
to allow you to see the
processes being
demonstrated to you
without having to strain
too much. We have fitted
daylight bulbs to our
suspended ceiling, which
has been set at a higher
height than normal to
allow us to throw skis at
each other without
damaging the ceiling.
Other stuff There is a
kitchen facility so you
can bring your own packed
lunch if you wish, and
we provide tea, coffee
and soft drinks
throughout the training
sessions. There is built
in audio too, although
we cant be held
responsible for the
trainers poor taste in
music. Parking is
available a few metres
away (Park outside unit
15-16 which is our sister
business Edge & Wax) and
we have secure bicycle
storage should you wis
