Ski Tuning Course

I have received so many emails about ski tuning that I am going to try a "long distance" internet course on ski tuning in this site!

If you want to learn to tune your own skis and can read English well , let us try to teach you how to "tune" your skis.

Every Monday I will post a new step or procedure. During the week you can practice the procedure and provide feedback on problems you had, or clarifications needed!

I will allow this post on for one week and if at least 25 skiers are interested and reply that they are ready to learn, then I will begin Ski tuning 101 course.

For the visuals ( if needed) I will post videos on UTUBE under 2skitune!

Now if you want to get ready, get some old skis or broken skis or children's skis!
I will wait one week for you to get old skis.


PS
As far as skiing lessons in the moguls they are coming once I get videos edited and you promise not to stick tongue out while skiing in moguls!

Sorry Pav, the tongue will probably involuntarily hang out in frustration and pain on this one!! Made me chuckle!!

I`ve never tuned my skis before, so interested in learning, only recently started waxing etc myself!!

Excellent! I'm in... I even have some skis with rusty edges (stored in the laundry room - doh)... definitely need tuning!

You can count me in - I've got about 4 old pairs kicking around at the back of the garage that could seriously do with some TLC but probably a bit past paying for a full service down at the local ski shop. There aren't that many places where you can learn this kind of stuff without going on a full-blown course by one of the equipment manufacturers.

Very interesting thread, makes fascinating reading to us lesser mortals. Especially interested to hear your comments about de-tuning. There were a couple of days last season where the conditions were very forgiving so I took out an older pair of skis with "blunt" edges that allowed me to swing the tails around on my turns (much like drifting the back end of a car) which was great fun!

Looking forward to Monday with skis at the ready. :)

A friend brought me toko wax, rubber dressing block and repair candle and I have no idea how to use them. I would learn gladly.so i'm in
