Tuning & Repair FAQs

While we can’t give a specific amount of days between tunes, we recommend looking for signs that you need a tune. These signs include slower skiing, slow turn initiations, no visible base structure, and being unable to hold an edge on your turns.
It’s important to get your skis tuned, but you can only base grind your ski about 6 times before needing to upgrade your skis. However, you can tune your skis many more times with edge sharpening and waxing
