Become a Premium Subscriber and Support the Ski Moms for $3/month

In this episode, the Ski Moms are joined by Leah Waaramaki, a ski mom and the Customer Service Supervisor at Nikwax North America. Leah shares her unique journey from winemaking to joining the outdoor gear industry and offers expert advice on how to take care of your ski gear to ensure it lasts for years and can be passed down from kid to kid. 

Learn about Nikwax's eco-friendly aftercare products, how to properly clean and waterproof your gear, and tips for testing the effectiveness of your waterproofing. Leah also explains her role at Nikwax and how their small but dedicated team provides exceptional customer service.

We also loved learning about Leah’s home ski resort of Alpental and all about the unique culture of Lot 3.  Lot 3 is her family’s home base for weekend family camping ski trips, which sounds like so much fun! 

Leah is a wealth of knowledge for keeping you and your family happy and dry when skiing.
