This Annual Tune-up includes, base grind, flat file, edge beveling, edge sharpening and hot wax. This service is available anytime between Mar 1st and Nov 15th each year. (a $39 value!)  A visual binding inspection is included in the Free Annual Tune-up for ski and snowboard bindings. We'll look them over and make sure all the screws are tight and that there is no visual damage to AFD's, straps, etc.
