Frequently asked questions

All about our waxing and sharpening service
During a waxing session, we apply a new layer of wax to the base of your skis or snowboard. This ensures a smoother gliding experience and helps protect the base of your equipment.
Regular waxing ensures your equipment glides better and protects the base from drying out and wear. A well-waxed ski or snowboard can also react better to various snow conditions.
This depends on how often you go winter sports and the conditions in which you ski or snowboard. As a guideline, it is advisable to have your equipment re-waxed after several days of skiing or snowboarding. With intensive use, this may be necessary more often.
When your skis or snowboard are sharpened, the steel edges are resharpened and neatly finished. This gives you more grip and control, especially on hard or icy slopes.
This also depends on usage and conditions. Frequent skiing or snowboarding on hard slopes can cause the edges to wear out faster. If you experience less grip, sharpening may be necessary.
Yes, you can. You can choose to have your skis waxed only, have only the edges sharpened, or a combination of both.
P-Tex is the material that makes up the base of your skis or snowboard. A P-Tex repair involves filling and neatly finishing damage, such as scratches or small grooves. This restores the base and allows your equipment to glide better and more smoothly again.
Most small to medium-sized damages can be repaired well. For deep or large damages, we first assess whether a P-Tex repair is possible. We do not perform large repairs.
