I was wondering if there were any trainings in the Pittsburgh area on tuning, waxing, edging (and more) coming up in the near future?

Hello cstesprit. You are the person I responded to on Epic, yes?

Out of curiosity, what level of training are you looking for?
Starter waxing?
Starter (maintenance) sharpening?
Base repairs?

The reason I ask is, even if you don't find -formally- organized hands-on experience, some of the members here have more than enough knowledge to get you started with minimal expense.

Yes, I am the epic member! Thanks for the recommendation for this site...I have enjoyed seeing more things related to this mid-Atlantic area. I am just interested in doing my own stuff....a little more advanced waxing as I know starter waxing but am not at all knowledgable of sharpening and base repairs.

I also am trying to start a local chapter of Snowboarders and Skiers For Christ and one of the things they do is Wax + Tune nights (along with ski movies, etc) so I just want a better hold on these things for when that time comes.
