Sharpening dull edges to allow better grip to the snow

Info:

Machine edge tuning is a precision process that restores your ski or snowboard edges to the manufacturer’s recommended angle using calibrated equipment. This ensures consistent edge geometry across the entire length of the ski or board, improving control, grip, and responsiveness on snow.

Our technicians can also adjust the edge angle based on your riding style based on whether you need sharper edges for aggressive carving or softer angles for a more forgiving feel. If an edge angle isn't specified we will use the factory recommended angle. Machine tuning delivers a clean, burr-free finish that enhances edge hold and reduces chatter, especially on hardpack and icy terrain.

Benefits of Edging:

• Improved edge hold on firm or icy snow
• Consistent turning response across both skis or board edges
• Customizable edge angles for different skill levels and terrain
• Reduced fatigue from smoother edge engagement
• Professional-grade finish with no guesswork or hand-tool variability

Process:

1. Inspection & Prep: We assess edge wear and prep the base for clean contact.
2. Angle Calibration: Edges are set to factory specs or customized for performance needs.
3. Machine Sharpening: Our equipment delivers consistent, burr-free edges and base across the full length.
4. Detune Rockers: Rockers of ski or snowboard are detuned for smoother transition and better edge hold.
5. Finish & Polish: Final polish ensures smooth transitions and reliable grip. This includes deburring, rust removal, smoothing of knicks, and removal of pitting.

Wax applied using a machine

Info:

Machine waxing is a fast and efficient way to apply glide wax to your ski or snowboard base using heated rollers and industrial nylon brushes. The process lays down a smooth, even coat of wax and buffs it to a polished finish, helping reduce friction and improve glide performance across varied snow conditions.

While machine wax doesn’t penetrate the base as deeply as a traditional hot wax, it’s a great option for one to two outings and offers faster turnaround. Running your gear through the machine multiple times ensures ample wax coverage and a consistent finish. This service is ideal for riders looking for a quick wax before heading to the hill.

Benefits of Machine Waxing:

• Quick turnaround and perfect for last-minute trips
• Smooth, consistent glide across varied snow conditions
• Budget-friendly option for casual or weekend riders
• No scraping required since it's just wax, buff, and ride
• Ideal for short-term performance (1-2 days on the hill)

Process:

1. Base Prep: We clean the base to remove dirt and old wax for better adhesion.
2. Wax Application: Heated rollers apply a thin, even layer of glide wax across the base.
3. Buffing Passes: Industrial nylon brushes polish the wax for a smooth, friction-reducing finish.
4. Optional Re-Runs: We may run your gear through the machine multiple times to ensure full coverage.

Advanced infrared wax system penetrates deeper than a traditional hot wax. Higher performance for your gear, higher efficiency for your wallet.

Info:

Our infrared hot wax service utilizes specialized thermal technology to maximize wax absorption. Unlike traditional iron methods that apply heat downward, the infrared system radiates heat through the base material, opening pores from the inside out. This draws a specially formulated infrared wax deep into the structure with minimal surface pooling. Because the wax is absorbed so efficiently, material waste and manual labor are significantly minimized, allowing us to pass the savings directly to you while delivering a durable, uniform glide.

Benefits of Infrared Hot Waxing:

• Cost-Effective: Reduced waste and labor deliver a premium service at a lower price point.
• Superior Penetration: Internal thermal radiation opens pores completely for maximum absorption.
• Extended Performance: Deeply bonded wax resists snow abrasion longer than traditional methods.
• Uniform Glide: Ensures precise, even wax distribution across the entire running surface.
• High Efficiency: Optimizes wax retention within the base to minimize structural scraping.

Process:

1. Base Prep: The base is thoroughly cleaned to remove contaminants and residual wax, ensuring optimal surface adhesion.
2. Infrared Conditioning: Controlled infrared light frequencies heat the base to open the material structure uniformly.
3. Thermal Absorption: The specialized infrared wax is applied and drawn into the opened pores for deep saturation.
4. Final Finish: The base is structured and polished to a smooth, high-performance finish with minimal material waste.

Wax applied by hand and heated with an iron which permeates the base of the ski and lasts longer than a machine wax

Info:

Hot waxing is a deep-conditioning treatment that delivers long-lasting glide and durability. We start by cleaning the base to remove dirt and old wax, then apply fresh wax with a tuning iron to open the pores and allow deep absorption. The wax cures overnight before being hand-scraped and polished with coarse and fine brushes for a smooth finish.

Hot wax penetrates deeper than machine wax, making it ideal for extended use. If no temperature-specific wax is requested, we apply a universal option suitable for most conditions.

Benefits of Waxing:

• Longer-lasting glide than machine waxing
• Deeper wax absorption for better durability
• Improved speed and control across all snow types
• Universal or temperature-specific wax options
• Hand-finished for optimal smoothness

Process:

1. Base Cleanse: Removes dirt and old wax for better absorption.
2. Wax Application: Wax is melted into the base using a tuning iron.
3. Wax Curing: Wax hardens into the base for deep penetration. This process takes 3 hours minimum but it's recommended for the wax to cure overnight.
4. Hand Scrape: Excess wax is removed for a clean finish. If your equipment receives a summer wax, the wax won't be scraped until the season starts.
5. Buff & Polish: Brushed with coarse and fine tools for smooth glide.
