Take care of your skis for better skiing! Tuning is one of the easiest things you can do to keep your skis skiing like new. A tuned pair of skis turn easier, glide easier and give you more control. This is important at any level of skiing. The kit is also great to bring along on your trip for touching up those little burrs and gouges made by unseen obstacles.
How often should you tune skis? It really depends upon ski conditions but a tune lasts about 7-10 days of skiing. If conditions are hard packed and icy, tuning will need to be sooner. If conditions are perfect, the edges won't dull quickly and will last longer. The only thing you can't do yourself is stone grind the bases. For stone grinding, bring your skis to your local ski shop. The cost is about $20.00 and should be done about every 30 days of skiing.
This ski tune kit is for all skiers and comes with just about everything to get started. The kit includes a hand file with a holder, a file cleaner, 2 base repair sticks (1 clear & 1 black), a metal scraper, a plastic scraper, a pocket stone, a rubber band brake retainer, a base polishing pad, a package of universal wax and basic instructions. Everything comes in a carry case to store and to take with you on ski trips.
Tune your skis just once, and the tune kit pays for itself! Purchasing the items separately would cost you over $68.00! So getting the kit is also a great money saver!
