Stone Grinding - $50/Pair

If you have a pair of skis that needs a little TLC, stone grinding may be the answer! Stone grinding can rejuvenate an old pair of skis, removing "dead" base material, scratches, and flattening a ski that has many more kilometers of skiing hidden beneath it's worn surface. If you think that stone grinding may be an option for you, give us a call or bring your skis in to see us. We will be rounding up a shipment of skis to send out for grinding and they will be back, looking like new, for the beginning of the ski season.

Stone grinding (with proper subsequent treatment) will assure optimal glide for your skis because:

1. The skis will become absolutely FLAT, both longitudinally and cross-wise.
2. The newly exposed fresh base assures better wax absorption.
3. The ski base will have a uniform structure (pattern) geared to snow conditions by your choice of grind.

All stone grinding is done by our friends at Trail Sports, offering the following grinds:

Very Coarse - for wet snow conditions
Coarse - for above zero snow conditions
Medium - for zero and near zero snow
Fine - for the widest range of conditions
Very Fine - for cold fine snow

The service includes Roto-brushing (to remove micro-hairs) and application of the first coat of soft glide wax, which is left without scraping to protect the base.

If you are not sure about your skis, bring them in or give us a call. We will be happy to advise you. Deep scratches or gouges can be taken out, but at the expense of excess base removal.

Please drop off your skis with the travel wax scraped off and have them taped together (no straps), all ski straps will be treated as donations to the ski grinding gods.
