Our Ski Service Offerings Explained

It doesn’t matter if you’re gearing up for your first time on the slopes or you’re a pro at shredding snow, taking care of your snowboard is essential. At Sun & Ski Sports, our snowboard shop in Plainview offers three essential services to ensure you ride smoothly, safely, and efficiently: tuning, mounting, and waxing.

Snowboard Tuning

Snowboard maintenance is all about fine-tuning the edges and preparing the base for a smooth ride. Over time, your board will show signs of needing repairs. The edges naturally lose their sharpness, and the base becomes scratched, which can lead to slower turns or a less enjoyable experience overall.

Our Outdoor Experts use top-notch machines and hand tools to ensure your edges are sharp, consistent, and free from any pesky burrs. For regular riders on icy or hard-packed slopes, bring your skis to Sun & Ski Sports for expert tuning to ensure optimal performance.

Snowboard Mounting

Mounting services help get your snowboard bindings just right. They check your snowboard's bindings to ensure the perfect stance width, angle, and position (if you prefer to lean forward or backward), and verify that everything is tightened securely and safely.

When your bindings are set up correctly, your boots will line up perfectly with your board, providing better control, quicker responses, and fewer surprises when you’re landing or turning. In short, getting a tailored mounting adjustment done at Sun & Ski Sports means you'll enjoy a better and safer ride.

Snowboard Waxing

Waxing your snowboard applies a clean layer of wax to its base, enabling you to glide smoothly over snow. Fresh wax layers reduce friction and improve your board's performance in various snow conditions, while also protecting its material.

Getting a custom hand waxing is particularly beneficial for your board. Our team will apply temperature-specific wax that affects how you ride on wet or icy snow. Overall, waxing is a simple, budget-friendly way to enhance your riding experience.

Please note: Service times may vary depending on the availability of our snowboard shop team. Please contact our store in advance and speak with our team. We may even be able to provide same-day service, but please call ahead to confirm.

Snowboarding Tips for the Plainview Area

Nestled in the heart of Long Island, Plainview is a friendly New York suburb with tree-lined streets, local parks, and a community that’s drawn to getting off the island for weekend ski and snowboard sessions. Although the immediate area may not feature large alpine ski mountains, Long Island has an active snow-sports culture, with several ski and snowboarding resorts just a couple of hours’ drive away.

Below are three of the best nearby resorts you'll want to ride after visiting Sun & Ski Sport's Plainview store:

Windham Mountain

Just a 2½-hour drive from Plainview, Windham is a fantastic spot for snowboarders of all skill levels. With 54 total trails and 11 lifts, it offers about 285 skiable acres and features a vertical drop of roughly 1,600 feet. The Windham Mountain Club is perfect for everyone—beginners and intermediates will find plenty of friendly trails to enjoy, while advanced and expert riders can tackle steeper runs and enjoy the terrain parks. The resort village is packed with various dining and lodging options, and Windham really focuses on providing a complete mountain experience, making it an ideal weekend escape from Long Island.

Hunter Mountain

If you're heading to the Catskills, about 2½ to 3 hours away, you’ll find Hunter Mountain along the way. This resort has many challenging trails and terrain, boasting a vertical drop of around 1,600 feet. With 67 trails, several terrain parks, and a solid snow-making setup, Hunter is perfect for those looking to up their game. The resort also features various lodges, dining choices, and a vibrant winter sports community. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who wants a comprehensive snowboarding adventure that goes beyond just a day trip.

Thunder Ridge Ski Area

If you're looking for a quick getaway, Thunder Ridge is just under 2 hours from Plainview and boasts 30 trails spread across about 100 acres, with a vertical drop of around 600 feet. While it may be smaller and more compact than places like Windham or Hunter, its convenience makes it a great spot for day trips, perfect for newer riders to practice or for those wanting to hit the terrain park without the commitment of a full weekend. While lodging options are a bit limited — since it’s more of a day-trip destination — there are many enjoyable areas for dining and relaxation for you and your family to enjoy.
