Tune packages

Package 01

Belt Wax

10 dollars

An easy-on-the-wallet alternative to hot waxing. It doesn't penetrate the base or last nearly as long, but it's there when you need a quick refresh. (Not eligible for the RS1 race wax upgrade.)

  • Machine-applied wax

Package 02

Hot Hand Wax

25 dollars

Baked in with our infrared waxing machine, the same tech the pros use, so the wax soaks in deep for a longer-lasting, faster glide. From there it's all hand work. We scrape and buff every ski and snowboard until the base is slicker than a greased pig.

  • Hot wax

Optional add-on: RS1 Race Wax Upgrade, 5 dollars extraFaster-gliding premium wax

Package 03

Basic Tune

Best Value

40 dollars

Hot wax plus edge sharpening for skis and snowboards. Our pros dial in a precise razor edge without grinding away more metal than needed, which only weakens it over time. Our machine is checked constantly for calibration, so every edge comes back sharp, accurate, and ready for high-G turns.

  • Hot wax
  • Edge tune

Optional add-on: RS1 Race Wax Upgrade, 5 dollars extraFaster-gliding premium wax

Package 04

Performance Tune

90 dollars

Hot wax, edge sharpening, and a base grind. Three belts (80, 100, and 120 grit) flatten the base, then a final tanzanite belt lays down a light structure for a silky-smooth glide. We're mindful about how much material we remove, and we never grind a base that's already too thin.

Which package do I need?

  • For better glide, the Hot Hand Wax does the job.
  • If your edges feel dull too, the Basic Tune adds an edge tune.
  • If your base needs flattening, the Performance Tune adds a base grind.
  • Just need a quick, cheap refresh? Belt Wax is there for that.

Tunes and waxing

Stand-alone edge and base work, for when you don't need a full package.

Edge tune Stand-alone, not part of a package. Our seasoned pros dial in a true razor edge, precise and clean, without grinding away more metal than needed, which only weakens the edge over time. Our machine is checked constantly for calibration, so every edge comes back sharp, accurate, and ready for high-G turns.20 dollars
Base grind Stand-alone, not part of a package. Our seasoned techs run a series of three belts (80, 100, and 120 grit) to flatten the base, then finish with a final tanzanite belt that lays down light structure for a silky-smooth glide. We're mindful about how much material we remove, and we never grind a base that's already too thin.50 dollars

Binding services

Mounts, remounts, release checks and screw hole repairs. Every ski binding mount and remount ends with the DIN set and a function test.

Snowboard binding mount We'll help dial in your stance (regular or goofy, width, and angles), then mount and torque everything to spec.15 dollars
Integrated ski binding mount Bindings are fit to your ski's track system, adjusted to boot sole length, the DIN is set, and bindings are function tested to ensure proper release.40 dollars
Traditional ski binding mount Drilled and mounted to your boot sole length, torqued to spec, the DIN is set, and bindings are function tested to ensure proper release.80 dollars
Ski binding remount We remove the old bindings, plug and seal the old holes against moisture, then re-drill, placing every new hole at least 1cm clear of any old one. From there, we remount the bindings, set the DIN, and run the function test. Skis can be remounted up to 3 times.100 dollars
Binding test and calibration We check that your boots fit the bindings properly and that forward pressure is set correctly, then set the DIN based on your height, weight, skier type, and boot sole length. From there, we test the equipment to confirm your bindings release exactly when they should, not too early and not too late.25 dollars
Heli-Coil insert When a screw or binding pulls out, we repair the hole with a threaded insert, bringing the mount back to its original strength.15 dollars per insert
