If you want to get your skis tuned here you may want an early morning (but not toooo early) appointement!

Nice!!!
I’ve never tried that Kirkland brand as a wax remover.
I usually just drink it.

Forget the tuning, just pour me a whiskey.

How do you guys with big quivers keep up with all those skis?

Like this

*This was ski clean up and prep for the next day at A-Basin for Mother's Day

There are usually 4-8 guys, two drills with brushes and multiple stones and/or files making quick work of it.

I'd like to watch this to see what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong!

It all starts with proper hydration.

This is right next to my modest tuning bench in my basement. The beer is hiding behind the bootbag!

That's what I call a nice rack. Looks well made, is it DIY?

No, Ikea from about 15-20 years ago, as are the large shelves behind my three skis. The cost of the wines generally increase as the shelves descend, so my wife knows to ask about anything below the top two shelves. The top shelf is whites, and the next shelf down does contain some bottled Belgian-style micro-brews. The only really expensive ones are on the bottom shelf. The painting was a gift from my wife.

Looks like a long drive for most of you. If you're coming over, just head for the PA/DE border and turn right...

Going to start on both of my daughters race skis tonight.

Well, webcam video of folks skiing at Killington drove me to the basement to start the pre-season prep. I stripped off the storage wax and applied two cycles of all-temp wax to four pairs of skis - my wife's all-mtn and powder skis, and my all-mtn and carvers. I still need to finish my powder skis and my son's twin tips. My daughter's skis come home with me next weekend after visiting her and they will need the full Monty. The other skis were tuned and prep waxed last spring.
