tuning process

1. Clean & Efficient Shop

1. Clean & Efficient Shop

1. Clean & Efficient Shop

Any great refinish begins with a clean, bright and well laid out shop. Ask if you can see your favorite retailer's service shop.

2. Remove All Appendages

1. Clean & Efficient Shop

1. Clean & Efficient Shop

All appendages including bindings and removable ski tips are removed. This allows for optimal transmission of contact pressure over the entire length of the ski and ensures consistent and accurate material removal. Use of binding ramps always prevent this, and were developed to make it easier to do the job incorrectly while saving time.​

3. Proper Edge Shaping

1. Clean & Efficient Shop

4. Grinding Stone Quality Control

Side edge material is ground to remove damage and pre-shaped to exceed the chosen angle, allowing for proper disc finishing to the true angle.

4. Grinding Stone Quality Control

The ski is then brought to the grinding stone. Depending on the profile, thickness and construction of the skis, a variety of proprietary inputs must be employed to properly remove material and establish a proper base finish with a zero-degree base edge angle.

Once the grinding sequence is complete and verified, the ski may now move to the ceramic disc finisher. SkiMD’s disc machine operates a proprietary sequence and is likely the finest calibrated disc finisher in the country. Hand filing simply cannot compete for accuracy and the mirror like finish a properly run and calibrated disc machine can deliver. Edge angles are verified before moving to the final wax stage.

6. Edges Deburred By Hand

5. The Finest Calibrated Disc Finisher

5. The Finest Calibrated Disc Finisher

All base edges are deburred by hand to eliminate any “hanging burr” created by side edge sharpening. This is critical to allow for optimal swing and balanced turn initiation from your product.

7. Wintersteiger Waxjet = Super Smooth and Fast Finish

 The Wintersteiger WaxJet base conditioner is a very special machine. It applies a super heated micro-film of wax on the base. The specialized wax brush applies molten wax at a precise 115c, to bring the wax through and into the base surface pores. All race ski finishes receive repeated heat cycling to condition the base, and create the proper foundation for paste waxing, along with our ProGlide wax system.  All SkiMD product is waxed exclusively using Dominator waxes. 

8. Proper Re-Installation of All Tips & Bindings

All tips and bindings are properly re-installed at the identical DIN and forward pressure settings they came with.
