Ski tuning isn’t just slapping a coat of wax to the bottoms and hitting the slopes. Professional ski tuners are your best bet for making sure your boards are properly tuned, not only with the right wax for the current temperature and snow conditions, you should also make sure the bottoms of the skis aren’t scratched or heavily gouged. That will not only slow you down, it may put a quick end to the boards themselves. Edges are equally important, because the more you into a turn, the harder it is to control the carving. You’ll also tire more quickly and it may cause you to either over-compen- sate a turn or miss it all together. BASE TUNING The ski base is made of P-Tex and that is what makes your skis slide better on the snow. There are different qualities of P-Tex, so you want to make sure the right wax is used according to the snow conditions. Waxes can be used hot or cold, however, hot waxing is better and is applied with an iron. Make sure the iron isn’t too hot as it may damage the base. The bases should be properly tuned by scraping off the old wax with a nylon or brass brush, then using a plastic scraper to remove the wax. A cork block is then used to polish the base of the skis. There are waxes for different types of snow. Ski shops carry many brands.

PROTECT YOUR PETS THIS WINTER Þ Pets who spend a lot of time outdoors need more food in the winter because keeping warm depletes energy. Þ No matter what the temperature is, windchill can threaten a pet’s life. Exposed skin on noses, ears and paw pads are at risk for frostbite and hypothermia during extreme cold snaps. Þ Rock salt can irritate the pads of your pet’s feet. Wipe all paws with a damp towel before your pet licks them.
