 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all.
I have always had my skis serviced by the professionals, at Devon Ski centre in Newton Abbot, and they are very Good, however i have decided i would quite like to have a bit of a go myself, perhaps not the full service, but a bit off tuning whilst in resort, currently this only consists of a couple applications of Zardoz Notwax in the week.
The only thing is i dont have a clue where to start! 
If anyone has any basic plans of what they do, any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated, any website links, or even books that are available. Ofcourse im sure the knowledge here at snowheads is far greater than any book!
Thanks in advance

If hes as good as FenlandSkier and Charlatanefc say, then it would probably be well worth it! Just a heck of a journey!

Have a chat with our very own Spyderjon, http://www.jonsskituning.co.uk
He's fettled many a snowhead's skis for them and can set you on the road to tuning your own.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

davidpratt15, he is! I am bloody hopeless at anything like that, but it was a cinch (bar scraping the wax off after I'd used FAR too much and he took pity on me  )

davidpratt15, No problem re a lesson in Nottm. I also offer an excellent DVD which would be worth you looking at due to the distance involved in coming up to Nottingham. The DVD's details on my website.

spyderjon, does the DVD come with hospitality from Deb? I've heard that's what makes the visit really special

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I have resurrected this thread because until yesterday I was a ski-tuning dummy and now I am not, following a trip to Spyderjon's with Richard E.
A happy afternoon was spent servicing my skis and repairing a pair of Richard E's and despite the 6.10hr round-trip, it was definitely worthwhile. Filled with the confidence imbued during the lesson, next weekend I plan to savage (sorry that should have read "service") my wife's skis too and re-wax my own.
Richard E and Spyderjon at work.

Nick L, I'm going to regret asking, but what are those two black templates on the wall - some sort of S&M guide?

You know it makes sense.
