Hey guys, this is my first post as I just discovered this sweet forum.
I'm Roger, currently living in Calgary, Canada. All of my skiing happens in either Banff or Lake Louise because of convenience.
I'm a 2nd year skier (35 years old). I've taken a few lessons and have probably been out about 25 full days in between last season and this.
I'm thinking about getting into waxing and tuning my own skis. Right off the bat I'm sorry if this has been covered a bunch already and if it has can you please point me to the relevant threads.
Should I just wax my skiis and have my local shop tune them? Should I learn to tune them as well and give the edges a little pick me upper everytime I wax?
Other than a set of vises, can you guys please point me in the direction of the exact scrapers, brushes, files, etc for where I ski? I've read a lot and kinda have an idea of what I need but wanted to get your opinions. I do 70/30 on/off piste.
Thanks so much in advance
