MAST Equipment Day at Pierce Skate and Ski Wednesday, October 8, 4pm - 9pm. Call ahead to make an appointment. 952-884-1990 Pierce Skate and Ski offers special pre-season pricing for racers. Just let them know you ski with MAST. The staff at Pierce asks that you make an appointment in advance if you are purchasing skis and/or boots this Fall. A boot fitting appointment can take up to 90 minutes if done properly, so plan accordingly. If you need poles, tuning equipment, clothing, or protective gear, you are welcome to just walk-in. Any of the Head Coaches is also willing to talk through your equipment needs with you. One other tip, download a clip of your best run from your Sprongo account when you go to buy new equipment. This will help the salesperson to better match the equipment to your skill level. Please see the attached letter from our kind and experienced friends at Pierce Skate and Ski.
