Green Ski Wax at the Alta Ski Shop

Get a greener tune-up with new wax machines at the Alt Ski Shop. The Wildcat and Albion Alta Ski Shops recently installed two Wax Future machines. These machines use ultraviolet (UV) light to heat up ski bases for preparation, and application of ski wax. These machines are much more efficient and sustainable than traditional iron-on wax.
