Now is the time to tune up your skis or snowboard before the season begins

Posted by utahskigolf on November 25th, 2019

With the official start of the skiing and snowboarding season, it’s always a good idea to tune up your gear. Here are three reasons to freshen up your ski and snowboard gear before or at the start of the next season.

Ready to Hit the Slopes

By taking your skis or snowboard into a Park City specialty shop before the season starts, you’ll be prepared to take on the slopes as early as possible. Having the right gear prepped and ready beforehand also helps you get out there sooner, making the most of your season or lift pass.

Save Big with Seasonal Discounts

While ski and snowboard services can be uncomfortably pricey, shops will often offer discounts on rentals, cleanings, and tune-ups at the start of the season. With Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas right around the corner, additional discounts of shop services are bound to crop up. Take advantage of local shop service discounts, especially before saving opportunities end and prices rise again for the rest of the season.

Professional Checkup

Skis and snowboards are expensive. When your gear needs a tune-up, it can be tempting to adjust, tighten, and maneuver parts on your own. Doing so, however, could result in damaged gear or broken boards. When you take your skis or snowboard into a specialty shop, you’re guaranteed the quality of professional service. Shops are staffed by trained experts that will carefully freshen your skis or board, and you can rest easy knowing they are liable for any damage to your gear in the event of breakage. Additionally, shop employees are trained to recognize various issues with the equipment that you might have overlooked. Avoid amateurishly experimenting with your ski or board care and be sure that your gear is getting the best care possible.

Safe gear = safe experience

When you take your equipment to a shop, they’ll thoroughly examine it to make sure your skis and snowboard are safe for use. Using properly-maintained gear that has been reviewed for malfunctions is the only reliable way to have a safe experience on the powdered slopes.
