TUNING & REPAIRS KNOWLEDGE BASE
If you maintain your gear regularly, it will perform better and last longer.
How many times should I get my skis tuned?
Skis and snowboards should be tuned every 5-6 times out on the mountains for the best performance and safety. Early season or manmade snow will pull the wax off your equipment and you may need to get your equipment waxed more frequently.
Do I need to make an appointment for tuning or repairs?
No appointments are needed, you can come by anytime we’re open!
How much time does tuning or repairs typically take?
We strive towards a 24-hour turnaround on most tuning and repair services, but seasonality and volume can impact our turnaround time. We do have the option for expedited service at an additional $25 if you’re in a time crunch.
How do I know that I need my equipment tuned?
If your skis/snowboard start to feel slow, or if you have a hard time holding your turns, you’re probably due for a tune.
What types of damages are urgent to repair?
If you have any deep cuts in your equipment especially if the core of the ski or snowboard is showing. If the damage is left untreated water and snow will start to rot the core of the ski from the inside. If you’ve got a break or significant damage to your edges, your skis or snowboard’s ability to ride will be severely impacted and potentially dangerous.
How do I know if my edges are dull?
Test 3-5 spots up and down the both the inside and outside edges by running the top of your fingernail over the edge. If you feel a little bite to your nail as you drag it across the edge – the edge is sharp. If your fingernail ever feels like it slides across the edge smoothly, as if the edge were rounded and not sharp, this may be indication that the edge might not be sharp enough to ski or board on with confidence.
Is tuning necessary with the purchase of a ski or snowboard?
Most manufacturers prep their equipment to ski/ride off the shelf. If you purchase a snowboard or skis from us that require tuning, we are happy to offer a new ski/snowboard tune as a complementary service to your purchase.
Are any tuning or repairs services included with my season rental?
Waxing is a free service that is offered to season renters at no additional cost.
Do you offer ski racing tuning services?
We offer race tuning services at some of our locations with large racing communities.
What do I need to bring for mounting/binding services?
Before doing any work that requires us to touch bindings – your boots need to be present.
How do I know if my gear is damaged beyond repair?
This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Bring your gear in and one of our expert techs will assess the damage and give you honest advice on necessary repairs (or suggestions for 2nd life opportunities for your gear... shot skis, anyone?)
If I buy skis and bindings, will they come mounted?
We are unable to mount bindings before shipping. Installation by a certified technician with your ski boot present must be done professionally to ensure your bindings will function as designed and any warranties remain intact
If you purchase skis on www.christysports.com, we will gladly mount them at 50% off our walk-in mounting price. Click here to find your preferred location and call ahead to learn more.
System skis come with their binding plates attached, but the toe and heel pieces will still need to be adjusted to your boot size and specifications by a certified mounting technician.
