Much like your car, skis benefit from a regular service - or rather, your skiing will benefit from it! If you’ve only ever hired skis or never had your own serviced because you think you wouldn’t know the difference, think again. The increased level of sensitivity, speed and control to be had from a freshly serviced pair of skis is astonishing.
Countryside Ski & Climb has operated a professional service centre here in the UK for over 30 years now. We use a Montana Swiss-made stone grinder, as opposed to the belt-type used by many centres because it offers a superior, even finish. Your skis are hand-prepared, ground, hot-waxed, edge-sharpened and finally hand-finished.
PS We just loved the picture here of the cool little dude prepping his own skis (thanks Patagonia), but we thought we should just add that we don’t actually use child-labour for servicing – although the very reasonable price may imply otherwise.
