Ski preparation :

The structure of the ski base has an influence on the ski sliding ability and the way to maneuver on your skis. The structure minimizes the friction between the ski and the snow.

- By cold or crystallized snow to get the minimum of friction the ski base has to be smooth.
- On wet snow a rougher structure is better. The air pockets between the base of the ski and the snow allow for the evacuation of any water therefore reducing the braking effect.

Basic rules: the colder the snow, the finer the structure. The warmer and wetter the snow, the rougher the structure should be.

Manual hot waxing by absorption results in better sliding and makes skis easier to maneuver.
Racing waxing with bases adapted to the snow conditions.

Edge sharpening for your skis for more precision, depending on the type of snow and what results you are looking for.

Compared to manual sharpening, mechanical ceramic sharpening has many advantages :
- Highly precise angles achieved.
- Improved ski behaviour in icy conditions, better carving
- Edges are sharpened longer.
- ‘Carving’ made easier

Repair of the base of a ski step by step :

- Application of P-Tex, the raw material of the ski base, to fill any holes.
- Sanding of the base with a special stone grinder.
- Edge sharpening and to finish, waxing.
