The tuning bench

The tuning bench

Every ski and board that comes off our bench gets a base grind, a hot wax pressed in rather than brushed on, and edges set to a stated bevel - our standard is 1 degree base, 2 degree side, adjusted on request for racers or park riders who want something sharper or duller.

Core shots and edge damage get P-tex and a structured repair rather than a smear-and-hope patch. Bindings are mounted to the manufacturer template and the DIN release setting is checked against your weight, height, age and boot sole length every time - we will not hand back a binding we have not tested, because a release setting is a safety adjustment, not a formality.

Turnaround runs 2 days in November when the shop is quiet, and stretches toward a week after a storm cycle, when everyone wants the same Saturday. We will tell you which one it is when you drop off, not after.
