Regular tuning helps skis and snowboards perform better, last longer, and feel more predictable on snow.

You may need a tune if:

• Your edges do not hold well on firm snow or ice.
• Your skis or snowboard feel slow.
• Your bases look dry, white, or chalky.
• Your equipment has scratches, gouges, or base damage.
• Your skis or snowboard feel harder to turn than usual.
• You are preparing for a race, trip, or the start of the season.
• You are done for the season and preparing to store your equipment.

Tuning frequency depends on snow conditions, skier ability, equipment use, and performance expectations.

As a general guideline, recreational skiers and snowboarders should tune equipment when edges feel dull, bases look dry, or performance starts to decline. Skiers who spend a lot of time on hardpack, racers, and advanced skiers may need more frequent tuning to maintain high performance standards.

Turnaround times vary based on the time of season, current workload, and the amount of work needed. During busy periods, tuning may take longer.

For current turnaround times, please contact The Pro Ski and Ride or stop by the shop in Hunter, NY.

A Wintersteiger Jupiter is a professional ski tuning machine used to grind bases, add base structure, and sharpen edges with a high level of precision and consistency. At The Pro Ski and Ride, we use the Jupiter to help prepare skis and snowboards for better glide, stronger edge hold, and more predictable performance on snow. The machine allows us to perform high-quality recreational tunes, race-focused tunes, custom base structures, and precise edge work for a wide range of skiers and snowboarders.

Choose PHANTOM if you want consistent glide without needing to wax your skis or snowboard throughout the season.

PHANTOM may be a good choice if:

• You ski or snowboard often and want less maintenance.
• You want reliable glide across changing snow conditions.
• You are buying new skis and want permanent glide protection from the start.
• You have used equipment that you want to upgrade with a long-lasting glide treatment.
• You want to reduce how often you need traditional wax services.

Important Note

PHANTOM helps eliminate the need for routine waxing, but skis and snowboards still need regular edge maintenance, base repairs, and tuning as needed.

V-Edge tuning uses progressive edge angles along the length of the ski. This can help balance grip and release by creating different edge behavior in different zones of the ski.

This service may be useful for skiers looking for a more customized feel, especially advanced skiers or racers who are sensitive to how their skis enter, hold, and release from a turn.

The Pro Ski and Ride offers infrared waxing using a Wintersteiger Wax Future. Infrared waxing helps wax penetrate the base more effectively than a quick surface wax.

This service is a good option for skiers and snowboarders looking for longer-lasting glide, better base protection, or upgraded performance before a trip, race, or busy stretch of skiing.
