General purpose: to make the right choice of service.

By using true-bars and angle tools, CSM Whistler’s Master Tuners are capable of telling accurately what service a client’s equipment really needs. For an active rider, to keep your board or skis at their maximum level of performance; it needs a Wax every 2 weeks, edges sharpened every 2 month and a base leveling and structure every season.

Edge Sharpness is the Corner where the two surfaces of the Base-edge and Side-edge meet; the right combination gives control and grip when you need it. The Base-edge Bevel really determines how your equipment feels when riding: Too much base-bevel will grip too late in a turn and will feel ‘loose’. Too flat and it will grip too early in a turn and will feel too ‘tight’. If the base edge is high or ‘railed’ it will run like it is on train-tracks.

Even on new equipment; you may feel performance gains and better handling characteristics from base structuring and edge tuning; so much so that this may change how you think about one model of ski or board compared to another. Often skiers and riders mistake ‘too sharp’ edges for incorrect Base-Edge angles. Also; over a season your base bevel will only increase from wear… even as you get stronger; your ski or board gets ‘weaker’ or feels dull even though the edges may still be fairly sharp.

Doing the minimum required to get to maximum performance; there is no over-servicing (will extend it life span) and you save money.
