Our Process

At Alpine Base & Edge, we take pride in doing the basics better. Our Basic Tune follows a streamlined process to ensure your skis get exactly what they need—no more, no less.

  1. Initial Check: We inspect your skis for wear, edge condition, and base flatness before any work begins.
  2. Base Refresh: A light belt grind smooths out minor scratches and preps the surface for repair and wax.
  3. P-Tex Fill: Small dings and scrapes are filled using high-quality P-Tex for a smooth, even base.
  4. Edge Sharpening: We sharpen your side and base edges to a clean, crisp angle for reliable edge hold on groomers.
  5. Hot Wax Application: Using an all-temperature wax ideal for Front Range conditions, we apply and buff for lasting glide.
  6. Final Polish: Before your skis head home, they get a final pass and a quality check from our techs.

FAQs

How often should I get a Basic Tune?

If you're skiing a handful of times each season, a Basic Tune every 3–5 days on snow will keep your edges sharp and your glide smooth. It’s the ideal maintenance interval for recreational skiers.

What’s the difference between a Basic and All Mountain Tune?

The Basic Tune includes edge sharpening, P-Tex for minor scratches, a light base grind, and hot wax. The All Mountain Tune adds more intensive base work and custom edge beveling for higher performance.

Can I upgrade if my skis need more work?

Yes — we’ll inspect your gear when it comes in. If your skis need deeper base repair or custom tuning, we’ll recommend the right service and walk you through the options.

How long does the Basic Tune take?

Most Basic Tunes are completed in 24–48 hours. Drop-off early in the week to avoid weekend wait times, especially during peak season.
