Inspection – Free

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 if there is any problem with your equipment. We usually start by making sure the base is flat. We then look at the base edge’s angle and we make sure the edges are good.

In order to be safe on the slopes, you need a ski or snowboard that is predictable. Even on new equipment, the factory tune has imperfections that can cause problems. Doing the minimum required to get to the maximum performance will save you money and will extend your skis or snowboard’s life span. 

Infrared Hot Wax – $30

General purpose: to improve the performance and to protect the base.

Recommendation: for equipment that is in perfect condition.

We use the combination of an infrared lamp and an Iron in order to achieve the best wax absorption. It is basically the same quality level as a Thermo Hot-Box wax process.

Services include:

  • Metal side-edge deburr
  • Cleaning impurities with citrus base cleaner
  • Hot Iron wax application with Infrared 
  • Scrape and polish the wax

* if no special wax is requested; we use the next-day weather type of wax

Wax to your base is like water to your body, you can’t have too much.

Minor Tune – $60

General purpose: to sharpen the edges.

Recommendation: for equipment with the base in good condition but needing a sharper edge.

We use a custom sharpening process based on the equipment’s needs. Skis are not processed in the same way that snowboards are. If there is no special request, we will cut the base edge angle with the same angle that the equipment has. Base edges on skis are done with a combination of a Wintersteiger ceramic edger combined with hand base edge sharpening and on snowboards, we use a belt ceramic base edger. All side edges are hand-finished and detuned.

Services include:

  • High-performance ceramic base edge sharpening with hand finished
  • High-performance ceramic side edge sharpening with hand finished & detune
  • Infrared hot wax

This is a great service to make sure your new skis or snowboard has a predictable base edge.

Full Tune – $75

General purpose: to polish the base and sharpen the edges.

Recommendation: for equipment that has rust on the base edge and minor scratches.

This service is basically for equipment that does not need p-tex or base leveling but could use a refresh of the base. We will customize the polishing regarding of equipment’s needs.

Services include:

  • Base polishing
  • High-performance ceramic base edge sharpening with hand finished
  • High-performance ceramic side edge sharpening with hand finished & detune
  • Infrared hot wax

When your equipment needs a little more than a minor tune.

Snowboard Major Tune – $90

General purpose: to restore snowboards and maximize the performance

Recommendation: for snowboards with damaged or not-flat base

Our Snowboard Major Tune process is one of a kind in the world. Normal grade p-tex is used to fix the base. If the base has large base damage, it will require more than the P-text included with this service; base patches and hard welds are available as a repair. 

Services include:

  • P-tex welding
  • Functional base grinding process
  • High-performance ceramic base edge sharpening with hand finished
  • High-performance ceramic side edge sharpening with hand finished & detune
  • Infrared hot wax

Your old snowboard will feel like a new snowboard.

Ski Pro Tune – $110

General purpose: to resurface bases

Recommendation: for ski’s bases that are not flat, damaged, or to improve performance

If your skis need P-tex welding, they will need to be resurfaced. When you resurface your skis, it is important that the right process happens in order to achieve a perfectly flat base. We are doing a custom stone grinding process regarding the need for the ski. Basically, we will level the bases with 2 different linear patterns; we will customize the number of cycles we do on those leveling patterns to make sure we achieve a flat base without over-grinding the bases. We then blank the bases with 2 different patterns and then structure the base. 

Services include:

  • P-tex welding
  • High-performance Stone Grinding process
  • High-performance ceramic base edge sharpening with hand finished
  • High-performance ceramic side edge sharpening with hand finished & detune
  • Infrared hot wax

The best version of your skis.
