How to tell your skis or board need a tune

  1. Once a season is the baseline

    Regular skiers should tune once a season minimum. More if you're on the mountain a lot.

  2. Your bases look chalky and grey

    The wax is gone. Bases dry out, run slower, and are more likely to gouge.

  3. You work to keep speed on flats

    A tune restores glide. If you're skating across cat tracks, you're overdue.

How it works

What happens in a Full Tune

Every Full Tune is done by hand, on Wintersteiger equipment. Here's the sequence, from the moment you walk in.

  1. 01

    Drop off at any store

    Walk in with your gear during store hours. No appointment; first come, first served. Need it sooner? Ask when you drop off and we'll rush it if we can.

  2. 02

    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.

  3. 03

    Hand-sharpen the edges

    Every edge is sharpened by hand on a Wintersteiger belt sander and finished with a hand file.

  4. 04

    Machine hot wax

    A machine wax is ironed into the fresh structure and buffed clean. Want it to last longer? A Premium Tune finishes with a hand hot wax instead.

Mounting, repairs & everything else

Ski prices are for a pair of skis; snowboard prices are for one board. Per-inch and hourly rates are as listed.

Ski & snowboard tuning FAQ

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. It's first come, first served. If you need it faster than the current queue, ask 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 at Sno-Haus.

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 at Sno-Haus.

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 bought 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 buy in store, up 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 that's still on the manufacturer's approved (indemnified) list. If yours has aged off it, we'll tell you honestly at drop-off. Tuning bases and edges is always fine.

Do you offer summer storage tunes?

Yes. It's 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 are parts plus $50 an hour, with a one-hour minimum. Custom boot molding is $100, or free on boots bought at Sno-Haus. If your boots hurt, see our ski boot fitting page.

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.
