The Elite Race Tune and Prep is what Race Tech Ski Service does for all FIS-level skis at the start of the season. We start by properly pulling the sidewall and shaping the ski. Shaping the ski includes filing the top sheet to make a smooth transition from the sidewall to the top sheet which prevents ski damage from gates or other ski contact and also makes it easier to set and maintain side edge angles. Once the skis are properly prepped, we grind the bases flat and apply event specific structure then set the base and side edge angles to coach, athlete, or brand specifications and apply wax with the Wax Future.
Elite race prep with grinding includes:
- Pulling sidewall and shaping the ski
- Grinding, applying event-specific structure, and setting base and side edges on our WINTERSTEIGER Scout
- Waxing with the Wax Future
Unless otherwise specified, side and base angles will be set to the ski manufacturer's specifications.
