 Poster: A snowHead

Does anyone have any recommendations for good places to get skis serviced in the Cambridgeshire area (the closer to Huntingdon the better)? Having only recently moved up here I still haven't managed to locate any ski shops in the area.

Dr Che,
Two Seasons in Cambridge center does servicing. Never tried them and they seemed expensive compared to in resort but they do it...

In Cambridge there are two options that i am aware of. Two Seasons (Mitcham's Corner) and Ski Exchange (out on an industrial estate at Dry Drayton).
Two seasons seem to take about 10 days to do anything (and have consistently taken longer than they've said when I dropped my planks off), and they can only do a wax and edge in store. For a full service they get sent away somewhere. They've always done a reasonable job with my skis, although I now prefer to do mine myself (unless they need a grind).
I've only used Ski Exchange the one time. They seemed to do a decent job, and you got more of a feel that you they knew what they were doing.
If you're after a wax and edge either is fine. If you need a full service, then I've found the latest ski-service machines in resorts do a far better job.

I've used Tallington Lakes Dry Slope near Peterborough a couple of times and they are OK although they take a week. Wrights Ski Chalet has now moved and is Two Seasons (still run by the Wrights) not used them for servicing though.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Dry Drayton is pretty close so looks like a good option (though of course a trip up to Spyderjon would be the ideal for a full service!)
