I've worked in a number of ski shops, two, two is the number of ski shops I've worked in. One had very minimal equipment and mostly maintained a massive older rental fleet of gear. The other was a high end gear tuning shop with a great assortment of high end tuning machines and a passionate owner who took pride in the end product of every tune and inspected each one until he was confident in his techs. I will be explaining the process of the latter in this video.

Although each shop will vary depending on ownership, tuning tech, volume, price, etc. I believe that this video will give the average skier or snowboarder a good outline of a major tune on a piece of gear and why I believe it is worth the cost for a tune every couple seasons, or even on a brand new piece of gear.

If you are in the Edmonton region and are looking for a great tune, I highly recommend Out of Bounds Ski and Snowboards. Let them know I sent you and you will likely get a solid "Ryan who?" haha:
