Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

These work well as a portable ski bench they are light weight and easily portable as well as a lot cheaper than the Bartlett option http://www.tooled-up.com/ManProduct.asp?PID=18088&MAN=Draper-1000mm-X-800mm-Pair-Of-Fold-Down-Trestles

Sage, I've sent you a PM.

Floppy the Snotman, get down to Nottm & I'll get you sorted. My son's a bricky so we can make it a double lesson.

SnowHot, here's my top tune assuming a grind or base repairs aren't required:

Set/confirm base edge to 1 degree & side edge to 3 degrees (which are the Atomic specs). Polish base edges using 600 & 1500 grits to avoid over bevelling. Polish side edges using 100, 200, 400, 600 1500 diamond files. Deburr edge but do not detune tip's'tails. Hot wax/scrape base to clean, brass brush to clean/open structure, steel brush to add a little extra structure then fibrepad to knock-off the peaks. Hot wax with Dominator Zoom Renew base prep wax, cool & scrap. Brass brush again then hot wax with Dominator Zoom Lime universal wax, cool & scrape. Clean out structure with brass brush then polish with horsehair & nylon brushes. All base & edge work is done by hand to minimise material removed, as opposed to store machines which remove way too much material. Then you're good to go.

On most Atomic's you might first have to cut back the sidewall to allow that a clean 3 degree side angle can be maintained in the future. I use a Skiman sidewall cutter with the round blade & then blend in the 'top edge' of the side edge into the sidewall by back filing using a 6 degree guide. The top edge of sidewall is then rounded & polished with files & fibrepads or a dremel if you've got the gear & a steady hand.

The Dominator Lime Z400 uni wax (or the Z400G which is the same with graphite) is really great due to it's wide operating temperature range. You can get it from most quality outlets in the US or direct from www.dominatorwax.com

I was getting ready for Stowe, so I looked back on this to glean from your advice.
Thanks.

BTW, you never answered my original question..............does the speedsuit add 10 lbs??? wink

SnowHot, B5 owners don't need speed suits as they're fast enough wink. Also Spyder don't make them in my size Embarassed.

spyderjon, are you sure about the size? I'm sure they make them in my size and I WON't be wearing one any time soon. Trust me!
