Tuning Tip:
Base Filing Don't pull a file on your bases after the base bevel has been set. If there are so many burrs that you think you should file, get your bases reground instead. Every time you file your base edge, it reduces the reactiveness of the ski. |
Cold Weather Waxing: In cold weather, instead of using a hard wax that is difficult to work with, use a mixture of a warmer wax with cold powder. For example, instead of waxing with Swix CH4, first wax with CH6, then sprinkle LF3 cold powder over the layer of melted wax and and iron it in. Then scrape. |
Accurate bevels: To get a sharp and precise 3 degree angle on your side edges, first pull back the edge with a 5 degree bevel guide. This will back-cut the side edge material to leave a clear pull for your 3 degree file. | |
