Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
After an icy week in La Plagne and quadruple wisdom tooth removal (completely unrelated), I feel that I should set about getting my poor skis serviced, with your undoubtedly fabulous assistance.
They've got some shallow half/full-length scratches, and a nice 1-2cm gouge down to the core (fortunately did not bust the edges). I have half a mind to attempt a Ptex fix on the gouges myself, but still need them serviced.
My question is, does anyone have an overwhelming opinion on Snow & Rock, Ellis Brigham, Edge & Wax and their ability to service my needs? Alternatively, are there any undiscovered beauties around the Maidenhead area?
Many lurking thanks,
JP

JP89, welcome to snowHeads.
Ski Bartlett in Hillingdon have been recommended by quite a lot of people on the forum and I'm about to take my own skis there for servicing. It shouldn't take you very long to get there.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Contact John Coster and do a halfday tech course with him - 1 to 1 tuition, less than the price of a service, and then you can do most things yourself - he's a brilliant bloke....

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

JP89, Welcome to s. I'm sure many others will say the same but a big +1 to Hurtle's advice re spyderjon. Fantastic course and well worth the trip. Plus it'll save you a fortune in the future.

Schuss in Boots, 'twasn't my advice, I've had my skis serviced by Jon once (very well, obviously) but haven't done the course. I'm too kack-handed to do my own skis, plus I haven't really got anywhere suitable to set them up - no garage, or shed, or anything.
