Servicing - FAQs

Q: Does grinding the base and sharpening the edges reduce the life of my skis or snowboard?
A: This depends on how much material is removed during each service. At Glide & Slide, we use precision tuning equipment and only remove the minimum necessary from the base and edges to preserve the life and performance of your skis or snowboard.

Q: How often should I have my equipment serviced?
A: As a general rule, skis or snowboards should be waxed after every trip. Base and edge work may also be needed depending on the snow conditions. If you've been on fresh snow with no impact damage, your bases might still be in good shape. Drop your equipment into the shop and our technicians will assess and recommend the right level of service.

Q: How long do I need to leave my equipment with you?
A: Our standard turnaround time is around one week during the ski season. However, during peak periods, it can be up to three weeks. We strongly recommend bringing your gear in well ahead of your trip to avoid delays.

Q: How can I keep my equipment in good condition between services?
A:

• Avoid rocks and other hard objects when skiing or riding.
• Transport your equipment carefully using padded bags or hard cases.
• Dry off the edges thoroughly at the end of each trip to prevent rust.
• At the end of the season, consider bringing your gear in for a “summer service”—we’ll prepare it for storage and protect the bases from drying out.
• Store your skis or snowboard in a cool, dry place with stable temperatures—avoid hot attics or damp basements.
