Elite Race Tune & Prep

Grinding, setting base and side edges, pulling sidewall, and shaping.

The Elite Race Tune and Prep is what Race Tech Ski Service does for all FIS-level skis at the start of the season. We start by properly pulling the sidewall and shaping the ski. Shaping the ski includes filing the top sheet to make a smooth transition from the sidewall to the top sheet which prevents ski damage from gates or other ski contact and also makes it easier to set and maintain side edge angles. Once the skis are properly prepped, we grind the bases flat and apply event specific structure then set the base and side edge angles to coach, athlete, or brand specifications
