-
How do I know which wax to use for different times of year or snow temperatures?
Choosing the right wax for your skis or snowboard depends on a variety of factors including air temperature, snow temperature, and humidity. We use a range of high-quality hydrocarbon waxes optimized for different conditions. If you're unsure, our experts can select the ideal wax for you based on the current and expected conditions at your favorite slopes.
-
When does my equipment need P-tex repair?
If you notice scratches, gouges, or any form of damage to the base of your skis or snowboard that can catch your fingernail, it's time for a P-tex repair. This will fill in those scrapes and ensure a smooth ride. Small scratches are normal, but deeper cuts can affect your glide and should be repaired.
-
How can I tell if I need a core weld repair?
Core weld repairs are necessary when the damage penetrates through the base material and into the core of your skis or snowboard. Signs you might need a core weld include visible core material, significant base damage, or if you experience a loss of structural integrity in your equipment.
-
Should I opt for a full tune or just an edge and wax?
The choice between a full tune or just an edge and wax depends on your equipment's condition and your performance needs. A full tune is recommended if your gear hasn’t been serviced in a while, after significant use, or if you're experiencing issues with turning or control. If the bases are in good shape and you're just looking to maintain glide and edge performance, an edge and wax might be sufficient.
-
How often should I tune my skis/snowboard?
Regular tunes are crucial for optimal performance. We generally recommend a full tune at least once a season for recreational skiers and riders, or more frequently for those hitting the slopes on a regular basis. If you're a frequent rider or the conditions are particularly harsh, consider tuning your equipment more often.
-
Can I still ride my board or skis if there’s visible damage to the base or edges?
While minor damage might not prevent you from riding, it can significantly affect performance and safety. It’s best to have your gear inspected and repaired if you notice any issues. Riding on damaged equipment can lead to more severe problems that are harder to fix.
-
What's the benefit of having professionally tuned equipment rather than doing it myself?
Professional tuning ensures precision and utilizes high-grade equipment that may not be readily available to most hobbyists. Our experienced technicians can also identify and address issues that may not be obvious to the untrained eye, enhancing your equipment's performance and longevity.
