Thu, 6 Dec 2012 16:40:58 GMT

Hey everyone, just want to know if people take there ski's or boards to get waxed and edge's redone at shop's or do it themselfs? I done mine myself, Even though i only use it a few times a year, its a lot cheaper doing it myself!

Once a year I'll get my skis serviced and bindings checked at a shop, I'll wax them myself between times though.

I used to do the same, but when i got told how much it was gonna cost i just brought a edge sharping tool and done it myself!

I like the peace of mind of having the bindings tested every year by someone who knows what they are doing. I'm disabled as it is, I can't afford a mishap. I know "schitt happens" but I'll reduce the risk where I can.
We usually manage 2-3 weeks on holiday and at least once every couple of months at a dome, once a year having a professional looking my skis over equates to far less than a GBP1 a day skiing. It is money well spent in my eyes.

Ian, where do you buy your wax from? Ski shop prices seem to be a tad heavy,
