World-Class tuning and repair:

From the latest World Cup base grinding equipment (Wintersteiger), waxing technologies including the new Wax Future Infra-Red Waxing System, & Ceramic Edge Finishing, to our experienced and certified tuning technicians, we provide quality custom race services for all competitive skiers.

Personalized service, experienced high quality workmanship, and a dedication to the latest tuning technology available formed the foundation of our business. We believe that properly tuned equipment enables skiers and riders to maximize their technique and carving experience. Today's skis and snowboards require specific edge geometry, unique base structures based on technique and snow conditions, and custom waxing/finishing. When your equipment is tuned at SRD, aCOS and Alpine Base & Edge you can be assured of optimum performance on the snow. SRD, aCOS and Alpine Base & Edge guarantees all tunes - if you don't like the way your ride is performing after having it worked on, bring it back and we'll adjust the tune for you for free. SRD, aCOS and Alpine Base & Edge tunes all year long so bring in your equipment during the summer and avoid the rush at the start of ski season!

The shop provides tuning and repair services for Alpine Race and Recreational, Telemark, and Back Country skis, as well as Snowboards and Alpine Carving Boards. Racing Tunes, Custom Edge Geometry and Base Structuring are the shop's specialty. We own the latest racing stone grinders and other machinery from Wintersteiger. This equipment is maintained in top condition to produce the finest ski tunes available in the shortest possible time.

Our attention to detail combined years of tuning experience yields precision workmanship that must be skied to be appreciated. We can mount almost any binding (as long as we have the jig) and test every binding installation. There is an I-beam available to inspect skis and boards on as well as a Hot Box for initial ski base preparation and new this season is the Wax Future Infra-Red waxing station From Montana Sport of Switzerland. New ski/board preparation is essential prior to use. SRD, aCOS and Alpine Base & Edge will make sure that your new base is flat and structured, the edges properly beveled to the manufacturer's or customer's specifications (sharp & smooth) and that a least two waxes (one Molybdenum/Graphite, one Hydrocarbon) are hand ironed on to the base to ensure maximum glide performance.
