Custom Shell Molding- High Adventure has a custom-built heat control system for our boot ovens to precisely control the oven temperature and optimize fit for all boot brands.  $75

• Flatten and smooth with belt
• We use a Wintersteiger wet belt sander to flatten and remove blemishes from the base of the ski, using a succession of grits as necessary.
• Stone Grind flat
• We use a Wintersteiger stone grinding machine to make the base of the ski flat to factory specification.
• Stone Grind Pattern
• We use a Wintersteiger electronically controlled stone grinder to pattern the ptex base of the ski to break surface tension with the snow to provide a faster, more consistent glide. We program our machine for optimal performance in typical north east snow conditions.
• Dimension Edge
• We shape base and side edge of the ski to factory specified or custom bevels using appropriate tools for the ski and desired edge.
• Ceramic Edge sharpen and polish
• We use a computer controlled Wintersteiger machine which polishes both the base and side edges to bring the metal to a fine point, while also removing burs, tool, and grind marks from the edge. This results in a sharper, smoother, longer lasting edge on your skis.
• Hot wax with iron
• Results in better wax penetration and retention.
• All these steps are included in our basic tune.
