Tuning Nights
Using funding from the Graduate Student Council, the Snowriders has purchased several thousand dollars worth of ski and snowboard tuning equipment for our members use. On special nights throughout the season, we hold special tuning sessions joint with the MIT Outing Club.
Tuning sessions will mostly be on wednesdays at W20-461, Fee: $3. During this session you may use snowriders' tools to tune your own ride. There will be a moderator present to answer questions you may have. Please bring your ride and $3. Register on the rider board. Limited space available.
If you are not familiar with proper tuning and tool-use procedures, PLEASE READ THE MANUAL BEFORE YOUR SESSION. Tuning skis or a snowboard can take over 4 hours. Reading the manual will make things easier for everyone involved.
Watch our home page for tuning night announcements.
