Ski Tuning is for all skiers
When I was young, I started out in the ski business as a ski tech. A typical busy night in the shop could consist of hand tuning 30 pairs of skis. A normal hand tune takes 30 minutes per person, minimum. That's 15 man hours or 7.5 hours for each of 2 guys. If you got started at 5pm and didn't stop, you would therefore finish after midnight . After working from 8am , that's a tough day. The last pairs of skis to be tuned . well let's say they may not have been so perfect.
When I started my own ski store, I focused on service and investing in the best machinery to make ski tune-ups perfect every time. A few years ago, Montana of Switzerland came out with the robot and we researched, checked and re-checked its abilities. Then we bought not just one but three of them at $250,000 each. My advisers called me crazy, but I knew that a perfect ski tune-up is one of the most important things to a skier.
To date these machines have done more than 80,000 perfect ski tune-ups. That is why we have won the distinction from Syndicated Press, "the best ski tune-ups in Canada ".
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or expert or racer, a perfectly tuned ski will help your skiing. |
