WORKSHOP · SKI & SNOWBOARD TUNING
The best skis on Long Island are the ones that just came off our bench.
Every tune is done by hand on Wintersteiger equipment, by technicians who have been sharpening Long Island skis since 1959. A Full Tune costs less than a lift ticket and buys you a season of better skiing.

How to tell your skis need a tune
Four honest signals. If any of these sound like you, drop your gear off — you'll ski better on your next trip.
You slide out on hard-pack
Rusted or burred edges can't hold on firm snow, and it feels scary before it feels slow.
Your bases look chalky and grey
The wax is gone. Bases dry out, run slower, and are more likely to gouge.
You work to keep speed on flats
A tune restores glide. If you're skating across cat tracks, you're overdue.
Once a season is the baseline
Regular skiers should tune once a season minimum. More if you're on the mountain a lot.

What happens in a Full Tune
Every Full Tune is done by hand, on Wintersteiger equipment, by technicians who have been sharpening Long Island skis for decades. Here's the sequence.
- Done by hand
- Wintersteiger stone grinder
- Most Popular Tune
Stone grind the base
We flatten the base on a Wintersteiger stone grinder and cut a fresh structure into the P-tex. A flat, freshly structured base holds wax properly and channels water instead of dragging in variable snow.
Hand-sharpen the edges
Every edge is sharpened by hand on a Wintersteiger belt sander and finished with a hand file. It's slower than a robot, and it's the whole reason a Sno-Haus tune bites the way it does on ice.
Machine hot wax
A machine wax is ironed into the fresh structure and buffed clean. That's what makes the ski feel fast on day one. Want it to last longer? A Premium Tune finishes with a hand hot wax instead.
Skis and snowboards bought at Sno-Haus get 50% off tunes and waxes for as long as you own them.

Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in with your gear during store hours and drop it off. First come, first served.
How long does a tune take?
As fast as we can, honestly. First-come first-served — if you need it faster than the current queue, ask the associate when you drop off and we'll try to accommodate.
How often should I tune my skis?
Regular skiers should get a Full Tune at least once a season. More if you're on the mountain a lot, or ski a lot of variable and hard-pack conditions.
What's included in a Full Tune?
Minor rust removal, hand-sharpened edges, a stone grind on our Wintersteiger, and a machine wax. That's the whole ski, base to edge. It's $80, or $40 on gear bought here.
What's the difference between a Full Tune and a Premium Tune?
A Premium Tune is a Full Tune finished with a hand hot wax instead of a machine wax. The hand wax is ironed in, so it lasts longer and leaves a more precise finish. It's $105, or $52.50 on gear bought here.
What's the 50% off deal?
Skis and snowboards bought at Sno-Haus get 50% off tunes and waxes — Full Tune, Premium Tune, machine wax, and hand wax — for as long as you own that piece of equipment. It's on the account, so you don't need to bring a receipt. Repairs and boot work are full price.
Can you tune skis or a board I bought elsewhere?
Yes, at full price. Same techs, same benches.
Do you mount bindings?
Yes, and it's free on skis and snowboards purchased at Sno-Haus. Otherwise a ski mount or remount is $125 and a snowboard mount is $50, minus $25 for each binding and each boot you bought in-store — those stack, so it can come to $50 off. A binding adjustment and release safety test on its own is $40.
Do you tune snowboards?
Yes. Snowboard tunes are priced the same as ski tunes, and the same 50% off applies to boards bought at Sno-Haus.
My skis are old. Will you still work on them?
We service any binding still on the manufacturer's indemnified list. If yours has aged off, we'll tell you honestly at drop-off. Tuning bases and edges is always fine.
Do you offer summer storage tunes?
Yes — a Full Tune with an extra coat of storage wax to protect the bases through the off season. Ask when you drop off.
Do you do boot work too?
Yes. Buckle repair, shell punches, heel lifts and wedges, and canting and lean adjustments run parts plus $50 an hour with a one-hour minimum, and custom boot molding is $100. If your boots hurt, start on our boot fitting page — that's a different service with its own process.
Ski better on your next trip.
Drop your gear off at any Sno-Haus. First come, first served, and we'll be honest about the queue.
