Our Ski Services Explained
Every winter season, ski enthusiasts take out their skis and boots, pack up the car, and head up to the nearest slope for that satisfying ride downhill. Over time, the edges and base of their skis lose their wax, their bindings loosen up, and eventually, their equipment will need repairs or it will suffer permanent damage.
That's where our expert ski services come in. Below, we share details on the most essential services - tuning, mounting, and waxing - and how they could benefit you with every visit to our store:
Ski Tuning
A complete tune-up includes edge sharpening, base grinding, and structure work to enhance your skis' glide and control — two essential functions for tackling icy or unpredictable winter conditions. Whether you're racing down black diamonds or enjoying a leisurely ride on groomed trails, a well-tuned set of skis guarantees precision and safety on the slopes. When you choose Sun & Ski, you’re choosing skilled technicians who use the best techniques and tools to deliver professional-level results.
Ski Mounting
Properly mounting your ski bindings isn’t just a technical task — it’s a crucial one, both for your safety and control on the slopes. At Sun & Ski Sports, our certified technicians take the time to carefully mount and adjust your bindings, considering your boot size, skiing style, and DIN settings. Whether you’re putting bindings on a brand-new pair of skis or transferring them from an older set, we pay attention to every necessary detail.
Ski Waxing
Ski waxing is essential for anyone looking to enjoy smoother turns and a better glide. At Sun & Ski Sports, our machine wax service not only hydrates and protects your ski bases but also enhances your speed and handling in any snow condition. Plus, regular waxing helps extend the life of your skis by preventing base burn and dryness. Swing by for a fresh coat before your next adventure — you’ll notice the difference right from your first run!
Please note: Service times may vary, and some tune-ups can be completed the same day. We recommend calling ahead to confirm availability if you’re on a tight schedule.
