Why Service Your Skis

Regular servicing ensures safe, high-performance skiing. Sharp edges improve carving and edge hold on hard snow. A well-prepared base reduces friction and improves glide. And repaired damage prevents delamination and extends the life of your skis.

Edge Sharpening

Better carving turns and increased edge hold on hard or packed snow

Base Preparation

Improved glide and speed – reduces friction for easier, more enjoyable skiing

Damage Repair

Prevents delamination from water penetration through base damage

Wax Protection

Protects the base, improves longevity and performance through the season

What To Expect

Our workshop handles everything from a quick wax through to full overhauls. Here’s what a typical service involves – for the full detail, read our complete ski servicing guide.

Drop Off & Assessment

Bring your skis or snowboard in and our technicians will assess the condition and recommend the right service level.

Base Grinding & Repair

Sand belt or stone grind to restore a flat base surface. PTEX filling for gouges and core shot repairs where needed.

Edge Sharpening & Tuning

Burr and rust removal, side edge sharpening to the correct angle, base edge bevel check and diamond polish.

Waxing & Finishing

Hot wax application with temperature-rated wax, scraping, brushing and finishing with Zardoz Teflon treatment.

We recommend waxing your skis daily with liquid wax on your trip, servicing once for every week you ski, and retiring them with a summer wax at the end of the season. When to service your skis.
