Tune Up Your Skis

Lost your glide? Can't carve a turn? Those boards might be overdue for a tune-up.

Every skier knows that bogged-in-the-mud feeling. While other skiers whistle past, you poke along as though an invisible elephant sits on the tails of your boards. Whatever kind of skiing you do — alpine, telemark, or cross-country — when your skis feel sluggish or your sharp turns are more like controlled slides, then odds are your boards need a tune-up.

By performing simple maintenance on your skis, you'll off-load that elephant this season and get years more faithful service from your skis. Tuning can be done at home, if you have the know-how and equipment, or relatively inexpensively at a ski shop.
