Pamper your ski gear before you put it away

by Ariel Parrish, editor of the Basement Buzz

Happy skiers! Want to know the surest way to keep your skis or snowboard happy throughout the summer? Bring them in for a summer tune before you put them away for the season.

Our snow shop will tune and wax your gear, but then won’t scrape the wax off the base like in a traditional tune. The wax will protect your base and keep it from drying out over the summer. We will also polish the edges to ensure that rust won’t build up and your gear will be in perfect shape, ready and waiting.

Before the snow falls next winter, bring in your skis or board and we will scrape off the excess wax and polish your base at no additional cost. Try to store your gear base-up on a shelf somewhere warm and dry. Don’t leave it in a gear bag as it will trap condensation and rust your edges.

Your equipment will be happy and healthy and you’ll have a head start on everyone else who’s trying to schedule a full tune during the early-season rush.
