    HOW DO YOU DE-TUNE YOUR SKIS

    Somethin smells wrong here. If u got a good tune then u turn / carve better and have grip on hardpak. U may have got a bad tune - this happens with both machine and hand tunes. The machine is out or the guy does something wack - something was overdone. Do both skis behave the same or is one...

    Pay for wax job or buy an iron?

    What u get from an expensive ski iron - if u care for the features: Top of the line ski irons often have a choice of power - say 600 watts or 1200 so if u need the heat when working in a cold garage u use 1200. Other irons are OK with 850 w. Cheap irons maybe like 600w. House hold irons can be...

    Pay for wax job or buy an iron?

    Here's what they don't tell u. And there are simple fixes to this, but think about it because once u start waxing , u may have to start tuning and want more etc.... and in the long run if u keep skiing u save $$ but for the 1st year u wind up spending money... 1) where r u gonna wax - it can...

    K2 clear sidewall construction

    if it is a serious nick that may allow moisture in or its just too deep then clean the damage and put some masking tape along the damaged sidewall and squeeze in some epoxy. Most of what i've seen is a light grey / white colour so it may not match up or be pretty. After it sets file and sand...

    Allmountain, AR6 or PE?

    181cm AR6 sounds too much for a 121 lb guy even at 5'11. Usually weight/ strengtht /athleticism count more than height. My pal is 130lbs and skis great and is on 166cm AR6. So if u want to go bigger for big air landing balance and bigger carving turns move up to the 171. There is a 176...

    Attaching soles to the bottom of ski boots

    canting the soles of ski boots or adding shims is common for hi end racers - but the toe has to be ground down to fit the DIN standard size for the binding (toe height max & set 'square'). This maintains the safety of the release. And of course use enough stainless steel screws. I haven't heard...
