From Drop-Off to Back on Snow
Step 1 – Drop Off & Initial Assessment
Pre-pay online and select “In Store Pick Up” at checkout, or bring your skis directly to Mountain Cultures.
Our technicians review the condition of your bases and edges to confirm that a ski minor tune up is appropriate for your setup.
Step 2 – Base Grind, Stone Grind & Edge Sharpen
We begin with a base grind to refresh the running surface and improve flatness.
A stone grind follows to restore base structure and improve glide consistency across varying snow conditions.
Edges are then sharpened to improve grip and control, particularly on harder snow.
Step 3 – Hot Wax Finish
Your skis are finished with a professional hot wax application.
The wax is iron applied for deeper absorption, then scraped and brushed to create a smooth, consistent surface. This helps enhance glide and protect the base from drying out.
