WHY TUNE YOUR GEAR?

Keeping your gear in top condition is key to maximising performance and longevity. Our professional WINTERSTEIGER workshop offers ski and snowboard tuning, waxing, binding mounting, and repairs to ensure your equipment is always ready for the mountain. Whether you need a quick wax or a full tune-up, our experienced technicians provide the highest level of care and precision.

Frequent skiing or riding naturally wears down your equipment, affecting its performance. Key factors in maintaining peak performance include:

  • Maximum glide – Achieved by keeping your skis or board clean, flat, structured, and properly waxed.
  • Strong edge hold – Requires clean, sharp, rust-free edges with the correct angles on both side and base edges.

With years of experience and a state-of-the-art WINTERSTEIGER tuning facility, our skilled team ensures your equipment is always in top shape for your next on-snow adventure.

WHAT DOES A FULL TUNE INVOLVE?

Step 1 – Cleaning

Cleaning the base is essential to remove any dirt, grease, and wax build-up that has accumulated on the base or in the scratches, and dings. We use a special base cleaning agent and a brush on the base for this process.

Step 2 – P-tex filling

P-tex is used to fill scratches and holes, a combination of heat and pressure with a Wintersteiger P-Tex gun is used to affect a good molecular bond.

Step 3 – Base grinding

During a full service, grinding the base is a very important step in getting your ski/board to perform at its best. Ski and snowboard bases should be flat. Poor performance is a result of a high base (convex) and edge high bases (concave or railed). It is essential to get the base and the edge level and on the same plane. We achieve this through grinding with belt-finish base grind followed by a Microfinish base structure.

Step 4 – Base Structure with diamond dressed stone – Microfinish

A structure on the base is essential to reduce drag and friction, to break the surface tension and give an effective release as a ski or board without structure will “suck” to the snow, much like two pieces of glass with water between them. Our World Cup quality Wintersteiger SBI machine can alter the ski or board structure to suit any snow condition. Large open structure for wet snow, fine structure for cold snow and powder.

Step 5 – Ceramic Disc edge tuning – side edge and base bevel

The edges of your ski or snowboard will become blunt over time or from prolonged use, and it is essential to get rid of any nicks, burrs, rust or damage to ensure the maximum performance when on-snow. Dull edges will not grip the snow and have a tendency to throw off your technique. Therefore it is very important to have your equipment ceramic-disc tuned to ensure the edges are sharp, with a perfectly true edge from tip to tail and rust-free for grip and edge hold for maximum performance.

The Wintersteiger ceramic disc edger will create the perfect angles on both side and base edges of your ski or board, which act like a bread knife and allow your skis/board to slice through ice and snow. The edge angles can be changed to suit all types of riding, from freeskiing to groomers, park, pipe and rails to racing. A base bevel is critical for easy turn initiation and transitions.

Step 6 – Infra red Hot Waxing

Our team uses world-cup level machinery such as the new infrared Wintersteiger WAX FUTURE. Waxing cannot be underestimated. It is probably the most important step in getting your skis or board to perform at their best. Basically a waxed set of skis or board glides better and more consistently. Your equipment will ride faster and turn easier. It needs to be done regularly (after every 3-4 day, when icy – more often).

Step 7 – Scraping, polishing

After the wax has been applied and impregnated into the base of your ski or snowboard we will let it set and cool, then proceed to scrape off all excess wax. (except for storage waxing)

Once completed, the base needs to brushing off the remaining wax allowing the structure to work properly. This will achieve the best glide characteristics.
