WHY WAX?
Back in the early days when all skis had wood bases, skiers had little choice but to wax 'em regularly if they wanted to slide on snow. But along with the introduction of polyethylene bases (p-tex) came the assumption that skis no longer needed waxing. Wrong...p-tex is a thirsty plastic that needs frequent wax feedings. In no time at all, the number of skiers who waxed their skis flip-flopped from 97% who did, to 97% who didn't. And that's pretty much where it remains today... amazingly, only 3-4% of skiers or snowboarders bother to wax their equipment. The performance these folks lose because of this misunderstanding is significant...a waxed base is about 30% easier to turn, more durable and faster than an unwaxed base.

P-tex bases can easily lose their ability to absorb wax efficiently. The most common cause is simply neglecting to wax regularly. The high friction of snow acts like sandpaper to abrade the base, wear off wax and leave the p-tex dried out.

KEEP 'EM WAXED
Although all individual wax manufacturers insist that what they make is superior to their competitor's products, they all agree that any wax, regardless of the brand, is better than no wax at all. Subtle differences count when waxing for racing or training, but an application of any universal wax will give the average skier a noticeably better ski experience. Wax companies figure that approximately 96% of all skiers ski on unwaxed skis.

WHY TUNE?
Less energy needed and lower risk of accidents…Professional edge grinding ensures uncompromising grip even in icy slope conditions. This saves energy and increases safety. Together they create a feeling on the slopes which you'll never want to be without again!

Dull, rounded edges or damage such as nicks or burrs. If your edges are worn your ski/board will want to continually slip out from under you while making turns, Dull edges will no longer grip the snow helping you carve your turns. Worn edges can be particularly hard to ski/ride on firm or icy snow conditions. Using side edge tools can quickly bring back that new ski feel with a few simple steps. The base edge can be sharpened at our repair shop to give you a proper bevel.
