Best place to get skis/snowboards tuned-up

[jar_e]

Anyone have any good recommendations on where to bring my skis for a tune-up before the season starts? Just need a wax and maybe a sharpening too.

Anyone know how good Mission is? I was thinking of going there since it is so close to work.

Not at all what you're looking for, so probably won't, but I would just go buy a kit and do it yourself.
The kit will come with instructions, and google will also have an infinite number of guides/videos that will also help you.

I always take mine to Ski Cellar

Anywhere not named Sport Chek or Sport Mart.

Ya, I was thinking a kit may be a good idea to invest in.

Abominable Ski by COP. It's a good little shop.

If you are staying in Banff, go to the Unlimited, and go to the back of the store and down the stairs. The guy's down there are REALLY good. i coach up at norquay, and alot of the racers take their skis there to have work done.
usually, you can drop them off in the evening, and they will be ready the next morning.

The better question is how much does it really matter? Aside from price or racer-needs, would we really notice?

If you ski/board, more than once a season, or can make a turn without going ass over tea kettle, you would notice a ton! head up to Lake Louise or Norquay, and try and make a half decent turn on the man made stuff with round edges!! Ever notice that when you hit the flats, you end up pushing cause you slow down, while there are a bunch of people whipping by? that is directly related to the wax, or lack there of on your skis!
Next time you go out on your skis / board that are un tuned, do your normal routine in the morning, and then drop you stuff off at the shop on hill while you enjoy a burger and a beer, and do the same runs in the afternoon, and i promise you will feel the difference and have more fun

Felix Ski Service in Bowness. Especially if you blow an edge or have delamination. Only guy in town that can completely rebuild a ski. Paul at Pro Ski used to be the other one that could do this stuff. I doubt that he does snow boards though.
